Irkutsk Polytech participates in the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" for the sixth time

The International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" starts in IRNTU on March 6. Students of Irkutsk Technical University will have to solve cases in the field of mining and oil and gas, electric power industry and geological exploration. The best participants of the intellectual tournament will receive a ticket to the finals, which will be held in Moscow on May 30-31. 
According to the organizers, it is expected that from February to April 2018, over four thousand students, young professionals and schoolchildren will take part in the cases. 111 universities will join the championship. The teams will solve problems in six leagues, including metallurgy and petrochemistry. 
The leitmotif of the new season of the championship will be the development of the Arctic. The relevance of this topic is evidenced by the problem of resource depletion facing the regions of the Far North of the Russian Federation. Therefore, the young people were invited to focus on the development of the territory and mineral deposits of the Russian Arctic. 
The opening of the qualifying stage of the IRNTU championship is scheduled for 9:00 a.m. at the Technopark. The teams will present creative, scientifically based projects to the jury.
Let us remind you that "CASE-IN" is the largest practice-oriented competition in In Russia and the CIS countries, to solve engineering cases dedicated to real production tasks developed based on materials from industry enterprises. 
It should be noted that students solve each case ten days before the start of the qualifying tournament. The presentations will be evaluated by an expert commission consisting of managers and specialists of companies in the fuel and energy and mineral resource complexes, employees of scientific and educational organizations. The evaluation criteria are the technological and economic justification of the solution, the originality of the idea and the high level of presentation of the material. 
Summing up and awarding of the participants are scheduled for 13:00. 
Irkutsk Polytech participates in the championship for the sixth time. The project is supervised by Professor Konstantin Suslov. 
Two years ago, the Center of the Earth team of IRNTU was recognized as the strongest in the finals of the exploration league. Nazar Nazarov, a student of the Hydrogeology specialty, Tatiana Zimina, Ekaterina Piskovets, and future surveyor Sergey Permyakov won the University. They were ahead of their rivals from the universities of St. Petersburg and Tomsk. 
In 2017, the Energy team competed for the honor of IRNTU. It included Daniil Lytkin, a student at the Institute of Energy, Evgeniya and activists of the Student Scientific Innovation Society (SNIO) "Innovatika: Investment Engineering". Ekaterina Ukolova. The team was headed by master's student Timur Tyurin. The finalists developed original ideas for modernizing the energy supply of Transbaikalia, including the use of biogas plants and wind pumps at mining enterprises. In addition, following the results of the championship in Moscow, Daniil Lytkin established contacts with employees of one of the mining enterprises of the Russian Federation, where he subsequently successfully completed an internship.
