"CASE-IN" finale: Unleash the entire Arctic!

The qualifying stages of the Student League have ended The International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN". The Final awaits the participants and partners of the Championship, which promises to be a grand intellectual battle and the largest student engineering competition of 2018.

In three months, 55 leading technical universities in Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan held qualifying stages in six industry areas.: "Geological exploration", "Mining", "Metallurgy", "Oil and gas business", "Petrochemistry", "Electric power industry".

In the direction of "Geological exploration" passed 14 qualifying stages, in the direction of "Mining" − 21st qualifying stage, in the field of Metallurgy − 9 qualifying stages, in the field of "Oil and gas business" − 18 qualifying stages, in the direction of "Petrochemistry" − 9 qualifying stages, in the field of "Electric Power Industry" − 30 qualifying stages.

The qualifying stages were attended by about 5,000 future engineers About 1,000 representatives of companies in the fuel and energy and mineral resource complexes, scientific and public organizations became CASE-IN experts.

"CASE-IN" aims to attract the intellectual potential of young people of engineering specialties to solving the most important practical tasks facing the Fuel and energy Complex and the Moscow Industrial Complex of Russia. In this regard, in 2018, all areas of the Championship were united by the theme "Arctic Development" − one of the most relevant topics on the Russian government, business and information agenda. All the cases of the qualifying stages were devoted to this topic.

Students – geologists we worked on a case based on the company's materials "Mycromine" They gave a geological and economic assessment and developed an exploration project for a placer deposit of garnets in the Arkhangelsk region.

Future ones mining engineers A project for the development of a coal deposit in Yakutia was presented.

Referral participants "Metallurgy" methods of increasing cold resistance and weldability in the production of marine structural steels used as structural materials for ships of the Arctic icebreaking fleet have been proposed.

Referral participants "Oil and gas business" we were looking for a case solution based on Rosneft materials: They have developed approaches to the development of hydrocarbon deposits on the Arctic shelf of the Russian Federation.

In the 2018 season, a new "CASE-IN" direction was launched − Petrochemistry. SIBUR, Russia's largest petrochemical holding company, became the strategic partner of the direction. Specialists SIBUR We have developed a case study on a production project for the deep processing of by-products of oil and gas production in Western Siberia: "Tobolsk Petrochemical Cluster: a new formula for integration and value creation".

Referral participants "Electric power Industry" Depending on the university, we solved one of two cases devoted to the development of energy in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug.

The task of the materials case JSC "SO UES" It was necessary to provide external power supply to the plant located in the village of Sabetta Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District Yamal-LNG intended for processing natural gas extracted on the Yamal Peninsula and shipping liquefied natural gas through the port to tankers.

Case study on materials BY FGC UES He set the task to analyze the current state of the FGC UES electric grid complex in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District and develop a set of measures to reduce accidents and improve the reliability of the FGC UES facilities, plan the implementation dates and calculate the resources required for the implementation of measures.

Case solutions in all areas were also supposed to ensure maximum energy efficiency and energy conservation: a question on this topic was included in the case at the initiative of the company. Transneftenergo.

According to the results of the qualifying stages, 100 student teams became the finalists of the Championship, offering the best ideas.  They will have to defend the honor of their university at the "CASE-IN" finals on May 30-31, 2018 in Moscow.

During the finals, the best teams of engineering students will present solutions to the final cases on the topic of "Arctic Development" to the experts, and will also meet with leading companies–employers of the Fuel and energy Complex and MSK during a closed Career Day.

The Final will end with a solemn ceremony of awarding the winners and prize-winners of the International Engineering Championship "CASE−IN" with the participation of representatives of the partner ministries of the Championship and the management of partner companies. The winners of each field will not only receive the CASE-IN Cup and the title of the best student engineering team of 2018, but will also win the honorary right for their university to inaugurate the CASE-IN competition next season.

The winners and prize-winners of the CASE-IN will also have the opportunity to complete internships and internships in leading industry companies.

The winners of the mining and electric power engineering directions will be able to participate in the annual summer educational programs. "Mountain School" and "Energy of youth".

For reference

International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" He is the legal successor of the All−Russian Mining Case Solving Championship (2013-2014) and the All-Russian Fuel and Energy Case Solving Championship (2015).

The championship is held in the following Leagues:

• School League (for 9th − 11th grade students);
• League of Working Specialties (for students of secondary specialized educational institutions);
• Student League (for undergraduates, undergraduates, and postgraduates of higher education institutions);
• League of Young Specialists (for young specialists of fuel and energy Complex and MSC companies).

In 2018, the national partners of the Championship are the federal ministries − The Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Ecology of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of the Russian Federation for the Development of the Far East, as well as the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs (Rosmolodezh) and the Agency for Strategic Initiatives to Promote New Technologies projects.

In the final of the Championship, the winning teams of the qualifying stages will compete for the title of the best engineering student teams of the year and for the opportunity to complete internships and internships in leading industry companies. The winners of the mining and electric power fields will also have a chance to participate in the annual summer educational programs "Mining School" and "Energy of Youth".

The championship is held with the support of leading fuel and energy complex and MSK companies, including JSC SO UES, LLC Transneftenergo, PJSC NK Rosneft, PJSC SIBUR Holding, PJSC FGC UES, JSC SUEK, JSC MHC EuroChem, JSC Rosgeologiya, LLC Mycromine Rus, LLC Vostochnaya Mining Company, Siberian Anthracite JSC, EvrazHolding LLC, IBM Montan LLC, RusHydro PJSC, NLMK PJSC, United RUSAL Company, Sverdlovsky Branch of T Plus PJSC, Saratovsky Branch of T Plus PJSC, Siberian Generating Company LLC", Prosoft-Systems LLC, Raspadskaya Coal Company LLC, Vyksa Metallurgical Plant OMK JSC and others.

The barter partner of the Championship is The Matti company.

The organizers of the Championship − Reliable Change Foundation, Non-profit Partnership "Youth Forum of Mining Leaders" and AstraLogica LLC. The co-organizer of the Electric Power Industry direction is Association "Russian National Committee of the International Council for Large High Voltage Electrical Systems".

The Championship is being implemented in accordance with the Action Plan aimed at popularizing the working and engineering professions, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 366-r dated March 5, 2015.

The championship is included in the List of all-Russian youth events aimed at popularizing the fuel and energy complex, energy conservation and engineering education for 2018.

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 Fund.
