International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" − an international competition system for solving engineering cases among students, schoolchildren and young professionals. The purpose of the Championship is to popularize engineering and technical education and attract the most promising young specialists to the fuel and energy and mineral resource complexes. More than 7,000 future and young engineers of the Fuel and energy Complex and the Moscow Energy Complex will take part in the Championship, which in 2019 is dedicated to the topic "Digital Transformation". The qualifying stages of the Championship will be held at 56 universities in Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, and Tajikistan. Representatives of more than 30 fuel and energy complex and MSC companies will take part in the League of Young Specialists.

It is planned that due to the inclusion of the Russia – Land of Opportunities platform, the Championship will develop the methodological base of the project, increase the number of partners, mentoring support from representatives of other projects of the Russia – Land of Opportunities platform, organize correspondence stages for students from remote regions of Russia, as well as expand the School League and the League of Young Professionals.

The opening of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" was held in Tomsk thanks to the victory of NI TPU in the competition of universities, whose teams became champions of the previous season.

"We are pleased that we have been trusted to open the seventh season of the championship "CASE-IN». It is a great honor for us, but I can say that we deserve such a gift. The solution of practical cases underlying the Championship is very close to the modern educational trajectories that are already being implemented at the university. So, at TPU, graduates of various fields of study are already preparing interdisciplinary graduate papers. A similar principle is implemented in the framework of the "CASE-IN", where teams represented by students of different fields can fight for victory," − as noted by the interim rector of NI TPU, opening the Championship. Peter Chubik.
