Digital transformation will begin its march across the country from Tomsk Polytechnic University

The grand opening of the VII season of the Student League of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" will be held on February 26, 2019 in Tomsk. Tomsk National Research Polytechnic University will launch a marathon of engineering case solutions on the topic of "Digital Transformation" at 56 technical universities in Russia and the CIS.

National Research Tomsk Polytechnic University won the right to open the VII season of the Student League The International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" according to the results of the competition of universities, whose teams became the winners of the previous season "CASE-IN".

"Our engineering university takes an active part in the engineering championship every year and naturally "CASE-IN"polytechnic students are constantly among the prize−winners, and in 2018 they became the winners of the final. The fact that the start of the new season will be held in the walls  Tomsk Polytechnic University is great! The opening of the new season of the CASE-IN championship at TPU, I am sure, will give it a new impetus, bring new interesting ideas and solutions, and open up new engineering talents. Have a good trip!", − notes the rector of NI TPU Peter Chubik.

"National Research Tomsk Polytechnic University is a long–time friend and one of the first partners of the Reliable Shift Foundation, we have been working together since 2007, the foundation's founding year. Teachers and students of NI TPU are the bright stars of almost all our educational projects, and thanks to the involvement of the university management, NI TPU events are held at the highest organizational level. We are glad that our cooperation is developing, and it is Tomsk Polytechnic University that will launch the new season."CASE-IN», − his Co-chairman, Director of the Reliable Change Foundation, comments on the decision of the CASE-IN Organizing Committee Artem Korolev.

The upcoming season of "CASE-IN" will be dedicated to the topic "Digital transformation". This topic was presented to the industry community during a meeting on the promotion of engineering professions, engineering and technical education and the development of new technologies, held at the Youth Day #Together Brighter of the International Forum "Russian Energy Week".

"The topic of Digital Transformation meets the urgent needs of the fuel and energy and mineral resource complexes of our country, this is one of the key areas of activity of the Ministry of Energy and the Government of Russia. We expect that the Championship will once again accumulate the brightest and most innovative solutions of the young generation of engineers that can be implemented in practice.", " he says Artem Korolev.

Participants Student League "CASE-IN" The topic of digital transformation will have to be translated into engineering case solutions in six industry areas: geological exploration, mining, metallurgy, oil and gas, petrochemistry and electric power industry.

The Student League competitions will be attended by teams from 56 technical universities in Russia and the CIS countries: Belarus, Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic and Tajikistan.

The winning teams of the qualifying stages will meet in the final of the Student League of the International Engineering Championship "CASE−IN", which will traditionally be held in Moscow in May 2019.

New Season The International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" it starts in February 2019. The organizers invite partners to participate: industry companies, universities, scientific associations – all organizations and departments interested in developing the human resources potential of fuel and energy and mineral resource complexes.
