The qualifying stage of the Championship was held in VGUIT

 On March 21st in Voronezh State University of Engineering Technologies The qualifying stage of the Student League VII has passed The International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN".

The CASE-IN Engineering Championship is 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 resources industries. Since 2018, the Championship has been included in the All-Russian List of Youth events aimed at popularizing the fuel and energy complex, energy conservation and engineering education, approved jointly by the Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation and the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs.

 The organizers of the championship are the Reliable Shift Foundation, the Non−profit Partnership Youth Forum of Mining Leaders and AstraLogica LLC, the Russian National Committee of the International Council for Large High-Voltage Electrical Systems acted as a co-organizer of the Electric Power Industry direction. PJSC SIBUR-holding became the main partner of the championship.

 In our university, the competition was held in the field of Petrochemistry. The participants solved engineering cases, practical tasks based on real–world production situations, on the unified theme of the Digital Transformation championship.

 The participants were greeted by the acting rector of VGUIT V.N. Popov. He expressed the hope that students will be able to create cohesive teams capable of solving current problems in the field of engineering and petrochemistry, and in the future the acquired knowledge and skills will help them become in demand in the labor market. O.V. Kosyanchuk, Head of SIBUR's Personnel Recruitment, Training, Evaluation and Development Department, noted that the format of such championships and case studies is extremely interesting to employers, and its participants subsequently become employees of the country's largest petrochemical holding company.

 The expert committee of the competition includes professors and associate professors of the Faculty of Ecology and Chemical Technology of VGUIT, as well as directors, chief specialists and experts of SIBUR, Gazproyectingineering DOAO, Sotech LLC. The team representatives had to make efforts to find answers to all the questions concerning both the scientific and industrial aspects of the projects under consideration.

 The Engineering Quartet student team (Victoria Bilovus (team captain), Olga Bogolepova, Vitaly Ilyin, Ksenia Kirgizova) was recognized as the winner of the qualifying stage of the Student League of the VII International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN"; the EPIC team of St. Petersburg Mining University took the second place; the SCS team became the third." (VGUIT) (Elena Morgacheva (team captain), Anastasia Nikiforova, Anna Chvirova, Pavel Bezymyannov).

 – The solution of the engineering case is dedicated to the introduction of digital technologies at SIBUR Tobolsk. Our idea is to robotize, improve the monitoring system using sensors and create an ergatic system that allows you to make decisions in non-standard situations.– said the captain of the Engineering Quartet team, a 1st-year graduate student at VGUIT Victoria Bilovus.

 The Engineering Quartet team will represent our university at the final of the CASE-IN championship in Moscow on May 30-31. We wish the guys good luck and victory!
