They are looking for "golden" shots

Magnitogorsk selects the best engineers. MGTU The Student League qualifying round was held The International CASE-IN Championship: 20 teams competed to reach the finals and searched for their solution to the most difficult tasks. Our film crew found out how Magnitogorsk students propose to mine diamonds in Yakutia.

Hello, we are looking for specialists and fresh ideas! This is the seventh time that the CASE-IN engineering Championship has been held, in which 54 universities from 34 regions are taking part this year. MSTU exhibits its teams every year, but so far the best achievement is the fourth place in the nomination "Electric Power Industry".
— There are no losers in this competition, because the competencies and skills that are acquired in solving these cases will always remain with you., — said the rector of MSTU Mikhail Chukin.

The most important thing is that experts are involved in the championship. These are specialists from various fields who work directly at enterprises and are aware of the shortage of personnel.
— This event provides students with additional communication skills with employers, employer assessment, and skills specifically in solving complex practice-oriented tasks., he says Alexander Savinov, Director of the Institute of Metallurgy, Mechanical Engineering and Material Processing of Moscow State Technical University.

There are no more than four people in each team, and 6 minutes per performance. During this time, the guys should tell us how they are going to solve this or that real-world problem. For example, how to develop a diamond deposit in Yakutia in permafrost conditions at the lowest cost. The students were prepared, but the excitement took its toll. And the future power engineers of MSTU decided to "get creative" and named their team "Fixiki". The students spent 10 hours a day for almost a week solving a non-child problem.
— We analyzed the roadmap for the construction of new facilities until 2025 and decided to suggest installing power electronics together with recorders instead of installing specific lines., " He's telling me Nikita Sorokin, participant of the international engineering championship "CASE-IN".

The jury will decide whether their idea is not only viable, but also cost—effective. Following the results of the qualifying stage, only three teams will go to Moscow to defend their projects. The final of the CASE-IN engineering championship will be held there in May.
