Three NUST MISIS teams qualified for the finals of the VII International CASE-IN Championship

On April 2, the qualifying stage of the student league was held at NUST MISIS The VII International Engineering CASE-IN Championship in the fields of "Mining" and "Metallurgy". The theme of this year's championship was "Digital Transformation". More than 100 participants gathered to try their hand, and three teams made it to the finals of the championship: Mountain Bananas from NUST MISIS, as well as Quattro from Vyksa and Thunder from Novotroitsk branches of the University.

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 resource complexes. Since 2015, the championship has been attended by more than 20,000 people from 7 countries, over 1,000 of whom are students of NUST MISIS and its branches.

The theme of the VII championship was "Digital Transformation" — the use of modern computer technologies to solve current industry problems. Two areas were represented at NUST MISIS — Metallurgy and Mining, and more than 100 participants gathered to try their hand.

The teams solved real cases provided by the partners of the championship, ALROSA and NLMK. The expert jury also included representatives of JSC "MHC "Eurochem", LLC "Mycromine Rus", JSC "EVRAZ ZSMK", ANO "Russia — the land of opportunities" and others.

"Our case was devoted to solving the problems of roll wear in rolling mills at a metallurgical enterprise. It was really difficult, we can say that we worked non-stop all 10 days before the presentation of the solution. I liked the scale and idea of the champion — while solving the case, you can learn some things that are not told in university classes.", — said Damir Shayarov, captain of the Paradigm team at the Starooskolsky branch of NUST MISIS.

Based on the results of the presentation of case solutions, the expert jury determined the list of winners and prize-winners.:

In the field of Metallurgy:

1st place — Thunder team, Novotroitsk branch of NUST MISIS;

2nd place — the Paradigm team, Starooskolsky branch of NUST MISIS;

3rd place — the Think Iron team, Starooskolsky branch of NUST MISIS.

In the field of "Mining":

1st place — Quattro team, Vyksa branch of NUST MISIS;

2nd place — Mountain Bananas team, NUST MISIS;

3rd place — the Iron Argentum team, the national team of NUST MISIS and the Financial University.

Three teams at once — Mountain Bananas, Quattro and Thunder - qualified for the finals of the championship, which will be held on May 30-31 in Moscow.

As noted Dmitry Kirillov, Head of the Mining Department of ALROSA The CASE-IN championship is not only an opportunity for students to learn how to work with real industrial cases, but also for employers to find promising young professionals. All the winners and prize-winners of the Mining field were invited to practice at ALROSA. 

Congratulations to the winners and prize-winners of the championship!
