The CASE-IN championship on engineering solutions for the development of the Arctic has started in Tyumen

In 2018, the largest engineering case-solving competition, the International CASE-IN Engineering Championship, was dedicated to the development of the Arctic.

The regional stages of the student league of the competition are held at 55 universities in Russia and eight universities in the CIS countries. At Tyumen Industrial University, 32 teams are competing for a place in the finals in three categories: "Oil and Gas business", "Electric Power Industry", as well as in the new direction of the championship - "Petrochemistry".

"We set two goals: first, students gain new professional and personal knowledge so that they can be successful after graduation. Secondly, it is the popularization of engineering and technical education, companies in our industry and universities that train students in these areas.", - said the Director of the Reliable Change Foundation Artem Korolev.

It is pleasant to surprise the experts of the championship with the level of training of students promised the head of the TIU Veronika Efremova. The contestants have someone to look up to: in 2015, university students won the final of the championship in the field of "Oil and Gas business", the university received an award for the best organization of the qualifying stage.

To get to the finals, the team must successfully present the cases proposed by the experts, which the students have been working on over the past few days.  

"Our team will present a plan for the development of the field, starting from geological studies and ending with an economic justification. The task is interesting because the field is located offshore, and many nuances need to be taken into account. Developments in the Arctic are very promising, and there are significant reserves of natural resources there.- say the students of TIU Maxim Voronov, Alexander Voronin, Nikita Utkin. - Participating in such contests is a great experience, we gain new knowledge and can prove ourselves.".       

The success of the students, including as part of the expert commission, is monitored by the partners of the championship - representatives of industry companies. According to a representative of Uvatneftegaz Sergey Averyanov the best teams will be invited to practice at the company. Representing SIBUR Anas Gainullin He noted that participation in the competition would be an important milestone for every student. According to the statistics of the last five years, conducted by the Reliable Shift Foundation, about 80% of the participants in the qualifying or final stages receive offers from enterprises to complete internships, work or finance research projects.  

According to the deputy chairman of the Regional Duma Victor Rain An important point is the applied nature of the championship, he emphasized the increased role of representatives of engineering specialties in the economy of the region.  

"A few years ago, we realized that there is a certain bias, we need engineering personnel first of all, this is the real sector of the economy, the gross domestic product. I'm really jealous that you're getting an engineering degree and that you have the opportunity to participate in a great creative process."," he said.  

The winners of the qualifying round of the international championship will participate in the final stage. It will be held in Moscow at the end of May.
