Future architects and builders from Khakassia shared their experience of participating in the final CASE-IN

Fifth- and third-year students of the specialty "Construction of unique buildings and structures" of KHTI presented their project at the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship. It is held with the support of the Presidential Platform "Russia – the land of opportunities".

The final of the XIV season of the CASE-IN championship was held in Moscow. It was attended by 208 teams from Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus and 10 other countries.  Egor Doroganov, Evgenia Gromova, Polina Kosareva, Daria Uzhegova, Alexander Solovyov and Makar Kostrigin joined the team of the Khakass Technical Institute, a branch of the Siberian Federal University under the name "Format A19". In the field of Architecture, design, construction and Housing and communal Services, the guys, on the instructions of the Metropolis company, submitted for expert evaluation the design development of a multifunctional Comfort class residential complex in the historical center of Yaroslavl. It took two months to create the project — the final development consisted of 114 sheets.

 "We've been hearing about this competition for a long time. We assessed the capabilities of our students and realized that they could well compete with students from the central universities of the country. We completed the case from the Metropolis company and presented it remotely. The students took the first place and received an invitation to Moscow for the finals," said Ekaterina Ibe, PhD, Associate Professor of the Department of Construction and Economics at KHTI.

The participants divided their areas of responsibility among themselves: some performed the duties of architects, others — engineers. 
"This is certainly a very valuable experience for us. During the preparation of the documentation and the project, everyone used personal experience and learned something new. Within the framework of the rules and regulations, we had to adjust our decisions, something changed right up to the last day," student Polina Gritchina shared her impressions.

Several months of hard work. The guys are tired, but there is pride in themselves and their team in everyone's eyes. For Alexander Solovyov, the event became motivating, and he became interested in completing an internship at the Metropolis company.

"The winners were two universities from St. Petersburg. But we weren't upset. We want to go further and try ourselves more. The path we have traveled makes us believe in our strength," said Egor Doroganov, the captain of the team.

Galina Shibayeva, Head of the Department of Construction and Economics, enthusiastically commented on the results: "I am very proud of these students. I am sure that they will become professionals in their field. Designers who work in groups do not always cope with tasks in such a short time, and our students presented a good project with calculations. I wish them to improve further and continue to compete at similar championships, and we are ready to help with this!  The guys are already planning to participate next year. Communication with experts from leading companies is a valuable experience, and such contests can help in further employment."
