Ended in Moscow International Engineering CASE-IN Championship - the largest practice-oriented competition in Russia and the CIS countries for solving engineering cases. The theme of the work in 2018 was the development of the Arctic. And the main organizers were Reliable Change Foundation, non-profit partnership "Youth Forum of Mining Leaders" and LLC "AstraLogica". Five thousand students competed for a ticket to the finals, which is one and a half thousand more than in the previous year. 

- We had to go through a qualifying round at the university., " They told me team members from Ural Federal University. - We have designed cryogenic steel production technology for liquefied natural gas storage tanks. They are stored at a temperature of minus 162 °C. We also needed to develop a proposal to modernize production: to make one of the plants more cost-effective.

The students received the tasks at the qualifying stages in their educational institutions. According to the guys, the tasks were relevant and not at all simple: they had to use non-standard approaches and fight with a rival team from their university. In total, teams from 55 universities participated in the CASE-IN in 2018. 
The winners of the qualifying rounds were invited to the capital, where the grand finale was held in one of the best hotels.
The projects were evaluated by more than a thousand experts from the companies of the thermal power and mineral resource complexes in 106 qualifying rounds. 421 future engineering students, postgraduates, and even schoolchildren from 50 regions of Russia, as well as from Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan, were admitted to the final stage. 
The finalists prepared and defended solutions to engineering cases on the topic of Arctic development in six areas: “Geological exploration”, “Mining”, “Metallurgy”, “Oil and gas business”, “Petrochemistry”, “Electric power industry".

All the CASE-IN laureates received the Champions Cup and the title of the best engineering team of 2018, and also won the honorary right for their university to open the championship competitions next season. The winners of the Mining and Electric Power Engineering fields will be able to improve their professional skills at the annual summer educational forums. Mountain School and “The energy of youth”.

The CASE-IN was held for the first time in 2012. Then the industrialists thought about why young people did not seek to enter the mining industry, and decided to find an effective way to attract young people to engineering. 
- This year we have a common theme - the development of the Arctic., - told the correspondent of “Search” Artem Korolev” Director of the Reliable Change Foundation. - There are more cases, and the number of program partners has increased. The championship turned from a small startup in 2012 into a real international event.

Indeed, the championship has a lot of partners this year. Among them are the Ministry of Energy, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Ecology, the Ministry of Education and Science, the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Ministry for the Development of the Far East, as well as the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs and the Agency for Strategic Initiatives to Promote New Projects.
According to A.Korolev, next year there will be even more educational institutions, as well as partners of the event, because industrialists are increasingly interested in the competition. And no wonder: the CASE-IN looks like a real forge of frames. Where, if not here, can companies look for new employees and get innovative ideas, and young people gain useful contacts and even really get a job?
