The CASE-IN championship helped a graduate of KuzSTU to become a professional

She knows how electrical circuits work, confidently programs and designs, and her scientific work has been awarded diplomas from All-Russian conferences. Angelina Lilyaeva's story is about how the support of mentors and the desire to try new things "turn" a student into a professional, ready for any challenges.

Since her first year at KuzSTU, Angelina has been actively engaged in science: she started writing articles, then began participating in conferences and competitions and winning. The graduate of the field of Electrical Power Engineering and Electrical Engineering has been active throughout her studies: she was a mentor in the Sirius project.Summer: start your project", tutor of the Kuzbass Engineering League, secretary of the student scientific society "Unique".

She is also a semi-finalist of the CASE-IN Championship, the winner of the Student Scientific Session competition in the nomination "Best Student Innovations", the winner of the Student Startup, the silver medalist of the Youth Global Forecast of Energy Development — and Angelina calls this victory the most memorable.

"When participating in this competition, I applied all the knowledge I gained. It turned out to be a professional job, and I felt that I could solve problems that go beyond the scope of academic assignments," she said.

During her years at KuzSTU, Angelina mastered not only the theoretical foundations of the electric power industry, but also modern engineering tools: MATLAB/Simulink for modeling, Python for data analysis, AutoCAD and nanoCAD for design. In addition, Angelina received a group II electrical safety clearance and mastered the profession of an electrician for the repair and maintenance of electrical equipment. However, the university gave her much more than technical skills.

"I have gained high stress tolerance, teamwork skills, and critical thinking," Angelina says. — Working with GOST standards and other regulatory documents has taught me to find weaknesses in systems and optimize them. This is the foundation of successful professional activity."

Since April 2024, Angelina has been working as a technician at the scientific research laboratory of digital transformation of enterprises of the mineral resource complex. And since September of the same year, he has been a design engineer.

She learned about both vacancies from the teachers of the graduating department.: "I was offered to continue my scientific activities in the laboratory, and this allows me to integrate theoretical knowledge with practical skills in the framework of innovative research."

When asked what advice she would give herself on the day of admission and to those who are just choosing their path, Angelina answers simply and wisely: "Don't be afraid to express yourself and participate in everything first in order to find something you like."
