Gagarin Yu.A. SSTU – venue for the CASE-IN Championship stage

On April 3, 2018, the qualifying stage will be held at the Gagarin State Technical University (Scientific and Information Center, room 826). The International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" in the field of "Electric power industry". The event starts at 10:00.

 The International Engineering CASE-IN Championship is a federal case championship in which students of leading technical universities in Russia and neighboring countries solve engineering cases − practical tasks based on real production situations in companies of fuel and energy and mineral resource complexes. In 2018, more than 4,000 students from 52 universities will compete in six industry areas: geological exploration, mining, metallurgy, oil and gas, petrochemistry, and electric power.

 The purpose of the championship is to popularize engineering and technical education and attract the most promising young specialists to the fuel and energy complex and the MSC. The championship also aims to attract the intellectual potential of young people of engineering specialties to solve urgent practical problems facing the Fuel and energy Complex and the Moscow Industrial Complex of Russia.

 In 2018, all areas of the championship are united by the common theme "Arctic Development". The development of the Russian Arctic region is one of the most pressing topics on the Russian government, business and information agenda. The energy sector development agenda is largely shaped by the global challenges facing the country. One of these challenges is the exhaustion of resources and the need to explore and develop territories and deposits, primarily in the Arctic zone. The anchors for the development of the Arctic are precisely energy projects, on which all other priorities are strung – the transport and logistics complex, metallurgy, etc.

 11 teams will take part in the qualifying round, which will be hosted by Gagarin University, nine of them from Gagarin State Technical University, a team from the Agrarian University (SSAU) and a team from Syzran (Syzran branch of Samara State Technical University). The organizer is the Department of "Power Supply and Electrical Engineering" of the Institute of Energy and Transport Systems.

 Each team consists of three students studying in the field of Electrical Power Engineering and Electrical Engineering. The selection was carried out from among the active students, conference participants with the highest average score based on the results of intermediate attestations (sessions).

 During the championship, representatives of relevant organizations and experts will be able to assess the overall level of training of future graduates in the field of Electric Power Engineering and Electrical Engineering, and identify the most talented.

 The event will be attended by Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Saratov Region Alexander Burenin, Minister of Industry and Energy of the Saratov Region Andrey Kulikov, Acting Minister of Education of the Saratov Region Irina Sedova. The experts of the tournament will be Moscow guests, teachers of the organizing university and representatives of the leading specialized enterprises of the region: the Saratov branch of PJSC T Plus, PJSC IDGC of Volga, PJSC FGC UES, JSC Oblkommunenergo.

 The winners of the intermediate stage will go to the grand Moscow final at the end of May 2018.

 The championship will be held with the support of leading fuel and energy complex and MSK companies, including 

JSC SO UES, LLC Transneftenergo, PJSC NK Rosneft,LLC SIBUR, PJSC FGC UES, JSC SUEK, JSC MHC EuroChem, JSC Rosgeologiya, LLC Mycromine Rus, LLC VGK, JSC Sibirsky Anthracite, LLC EvrazHolding, LLC IBM Montan, PJSC RusHydro, PJSC NLMK, United Company RUSAL, Sverdlovsk Branch of PJSC T Plus, Saratov Branch of PJSC T Plus, Prosoft Systems LLC, Vyksa OMK Metallurgical Plant.

 The championship was organized using a grant from the President of the Russian Federation for the development of civil society provided by the Presidential Grants Foundation.
