The commands "Dixon" and "Loading...22.5%" won the qualifying round of the CASE-IN in Magadan

The qualifying round of the VI International Engineering CASE-IN Championship started today in the auditorium of the Polytechnic Institute of St. Petersburg State University. A unique educational project to identify and support the most promising and motivated mining students and postgraduates has brought together the best representatives of Kolyma's leading university. As part of the qualifying round, there is a competition between two leagues – "Mining" and "Geological Exploration", each of which has 4 teams. The groups that experts recognize as the best will go to the final CASE-IN competition, which will be held in Moscow. As a result, the competition was won by the teams "Dixon" and "Loading...22.5%," reports MagadanMedia News Agency.

The International Engineering CASE-IN Championship is the largest practice–oriented project, held in the format of a competition for solving engineering cases (practical tasks) among students in the specialties of fuel and energy and mineral resource complexes.

 "At such events, you will not see the elite in every region, which is represented by our young future employees of the largest enterprises of the Magadan region. It is not often that you see representatives of these enterprises — managers, specialists, experts. We already have a positive experience of our teams' participation at the federal level, with good awards. Everything will work out for us this time", " he said Rector of Northeastern State University Roman Korsun.

Today, as part of the qualifying round of the International Case Solving Championship in the field of mining and geological exploration, 8 teams entered the competition at SVSU.

The participants of the qualifying stage of the exploration league included such teams as: "Smile", "Corundum", "Dixon" and "Game". And the Mining League was introduced "Carat", "Bespayev", "Loading...22,5%", "Fortuna". The participants have been solving engineering cases for 10 days, and today they presented a presentation of the solution according to the format set by the organizers.

The experts of the championship included: Vladimir Mitkin, Minister of Natural Resources and Ecology of Kolyma, Angela Shurkhno, Minister of Education and Youth Policy of the region, Roman Korsun, Rector of St. Petersburg State University, representatives of the mining companies of the Polyus region, Polymetal, Kinross Far East. They were the ones who evaluated the results of the future engineers' work. The jury took into account the original solution of the case, which allows for maximum technological effect. It must also be competently and correctly justified. In addition, the participants had to take into account key and additional factors, provide a comprehensive methodology for economic assessment, and take into account the maximum number of indicators and influencing factors. The solution also had to take into account economic risks, and the application of the case should allow for the effect of its implementation.

 According to the results of the championship, Loading became the winners in Mining...22.5%", in "Geological exploration" – "Dixon". The teams had the opportunity to participate in the final stage of the Case-in. The leaders and participants of the competition received prizes from sponsors and partners of the regional stage of the championship.

 "Considering that the participants were given 10 days to solve the tasks, the level of preparation of the teams is good. For the next championship, it is necessary to highlight the main points, the idea that the participants would like to convey. The championship was successful, organized at a good level – they gave the guys the opportunity to think, reflect, and offer their options. The winners of the qualifying round were those who offered the most innovative and profitable case solutions.", – noted Alexander Parfenov, Project Manager of Drilling and blasting operations at the Natalka GOK.

 The qualifying stages of the CASE-IN International Engineering Championship, a unique educational project aimed at identifying and supporting the most promising and motivated mining students and postgraduates, will be held until May 4. During its operation, the championship will include 4,000 participants from 45 specialized universities in Russia and the CIS countries. The final competition, in which the winning teams of the qualifying stages of the championship will meet, will be held at the end of May in Moscow.

Reference: The International Engineering CASE-IN Championship is a competition in which student teams solve an engineering case based on materials from leading industry companies in ten days and defend their ideas before an expert panel consisting of representatives of industry companies, scientific and educational organizations. The championship is held in five areas (leagues): electric power industry, mining, geological exploration, metallurgy, oil and gas business. The championship includes 85 qualifying stages at the sites of 45 leading technical universities in Russia and the CIS countries. In the finals, which will traditionally be held in Moscow, the winning teams of the qualifying stages will compete for the title of the best engineering student teams and for the opportunity to complete internships and internships in leading industry companies. The winners of the Mining and Electric Power Engineering Leagues will also have a chance to participate in the annual summer educational programs "Mining School" and "Energy of Youth".
