AmSU students compete in the first CASE-IN engineering championship in the field

Today, Amur State University hosts for the first time the qualifying stage of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN", the only federal case championship in Russia for fuel and energy and mineral resources complexes. Despite the fact that this competition is being held in Russia for the sixth time, the Amur Region joined it for the first time.

In 2018, more than 4,000 students from 52 leading technical universities in Russia and the CIS countries are taking part in the engineering championship. The competition includes six "leagues": electric power industry, mining, geological exploration, metallurgy, oil and gas business and petrochemistry. By the way, this year the last of these areas is included in the program of events for the first time, and it is in this area that competitions are being held at AmSU.
