University students became winners of the International Engineering Championship

The final of the Student League of the VI season was held in Moscow The CASE-IN Championship.

Student Team UrFU "Curvimeter and lapidarity" She took first place in the Metallurgy field of the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship, successfully defending an engineering case on the development of the Arctic. About 400 future engineers from 50 regions of Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan took part in the final. In total, 5,000 students and graduate students competed for a ticket to the finals, and their work was evaluated by about 1,000 experts.

"It was a very interesting experience: as part of solving a case, you can feel like the director of a multibillion-dollar enterprise and suggest methods for its development. This is not just a problem from a training course in which you can propose a solution for a "spherical horse in a vacuum" without taking into account economic and energy efficiency, but an applied problem that can be solved for the real economy., — shared the team member «Curvimeter and lapidarity» Inna Naschetnikova. — And no matter how ingenious your solution is, if it's unprofitable, it's a bad idea. This is the life you face after graduating from university. And most importantly, you have the opportunity to get feedback from experts who will give good advice and analyze your decision inside out.».

Following the results of the championship, students received certificates for internships at leading metallurgical enterprises, and also established contacts with representatives of enterprises.

It should be noted that 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.

UrFU is a participant in the 5-100 Project, the key result of which should be the emergence of modern leading universities in Russia by 2020 with an effective management structure and an international academic reputation capable of setting trends in the development of global higher education.
