The qualifying stage of the CASE-IN championship was held at MSTU

This is a federal case championship, during which students from leading technical universities in Russia and neighboring countries solve practical engineering problems based on real-world production situations in companies in the fuel and energy and mineral resource complexes. In 2018, more than four thousand students from 52 universities compete in six industry areas: geological exploration, mining, metallurgy, oil and gas, petrochemistry, and electric power industry. All areas of the championship are united by the common theme "Arctic Development", which is one of the most relevant issues in the Russian economy today.

- The international championship is held in the leading sectors of the economy. The Technical University participates in three fields: metallurgy, energy, mining, - said the vice - rector for Academic Affairs of MSTU Olga Nazarova. - The competition is organized by the country's leading employers. The qualifying stage takes place at the venues of the organizers, one of which has been the Moscow State Technical University for several years. The winners advance to the national and international stages. The format of the championship is interesting because it involves working with cases developed by real employers. The cases contain situations that need to find new, innovative solutions. Undergraduate, specialist, and graduate students are involved in intellectual games. MSTU has fielded eight to nine three-person teams in each area. For the guys, this is an invaluable experience in solving practical problems and an opportunity to establish contact with a potential employer..

MSTU has been involved in CASE-IN practically since its foundation. At first, the only area for participation was Mining, then the Electric Power Industry joined. Since this year, students have been studying the Metallurgy League. More than a hundred future specialists of the fuel and energy and mineral resources complexes of MSTU offered their solutions on the topic of "Arctic development". The teams were given no more than six minutes to defend their decisions, after which they had to answer questions from experts.

As a result, the winners in all three areas of the championship were determined. So, the Megavolt team won the first place in the Energetika league. In the field of Mining, the Veles team won the palm. The Best Caster team deservedly won in Metallurgy. The winners will show their professional training among the best teams from other universities in Moscow. There are chances to win:  MSTU has been participating in the championship for the sixth year, and took second and third places at the All-Russian stage. This year, the students hope to win.
