AmSU has determined the winners of the student league of the international CASE-IN championship

Student League Qualifying Stage The International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" It took place the day before at Amur State University. SIBUR has once again become the strategic partner of the Petrochemistry branch of the Student League. Eight university teams took part in the qualifying stage, which was organized at AmSU for the second time. These are students of the first, second and third courses of engineering, physics and economics faculties of the university.

The topic of the engineering cases this time was "Digital solutions and production efficiency". 10 days before the qualifying stage, the teams received cases dedicated to SIBUR's Tobolsk enterprise, prepared their solution to the problem and defended it before the expert commission. The work of the student teams was evaluated by representatives of SIBUR and teachers of AmSU according to six criteria: technology, economics, originality and novelty of the solution, presentation and presentation, energy efficiency, completeness of answers to questions.

— Tobolsk is home to one of the world's largest petrochemical plants, and the case that the contestants are asked to solve is from there. What is written in the case is real information, and employees of the company have to solve such tasks almost daily and at the same time defend their decisions to the management in a similar way. Thus, students who solve the case can go through a full cycle of analysis and solving a real production problem in the form in which it occurs in modern companies.- said the director of SIBUR 's structural division in Blagoveshchensk Andrey Polyuliakh.

The victory in the championship eventually went to the New Element team, which included four AmSU students studying in the field of Chemistry and Chemical Technologies. Last year, the girls already participated in the "CASE-IN" in different teams. This time they decided to join forces and became the leaders of the regional qualifying stage.

— We were solving a case, the topic of which was "The introduction of digitalization 4.0 into the production processes of SIBUR-Tobolsk." It was necessary to analyze two technological schemes: the dehydrogenation of propane and the production of polypropylene. We also needed to understand what digital transformation 4.0 is, what its main key points can be implemented in these schemes, and what it will do. The first day we carefully read the case, then we brainstormed and looked for ways to solve the case using various sources. The winners of the championship said, noting that they would like to link their future with the enterprises of the Amur gas Chemical cluster.

The New Element team will represent AmSU in the final "CASE-IN", which will be held in Moscow at the end of May. The final stage of the championship will bring together more than 500 participants who will compete for the title of champions. In total, more than five thousand students will take part in the student league "CASE-IN" this year. The qualifying stages of the championship are held in 56 universities — Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic and Tajikistan. The teams compete in six industry areas: geological exploration, mining, metallurgy, oil and gas, petrochemistry, and electric power industry. More than 500 representatives of 30 leading Russian companies, including SIBUR employees, will participate in the CASE-IN League of young Professionals.
