The winners of the qualifying stage of the Case-In championship in KuzSTU have been determined

«Case-In» — the largest practice-oriented competition in Russia and the CIS countries for solving engineering cases of fuel and energy and mineral resource complexes. This year's championship is dedicated to the topic of "Digital Transformation".

"Such a format of applying the acquired knowledge as solving real production problems teaches students to see and understand the problem as a whole and in limited resources, in particular, temporary ones. And those students who have learned this become truly valuable specialists. Based on my own experience, I can say that the participants of the championships of previous years are more successful in building a career than their less active classmates.", — said the rector of KuzSTU Andrey Krechetov.

The mining and electric power industry leagues were held as part of the championship.

The future miners were developing the Solur-Vostochnaya placer diamond deposit located in the Mirninsky district of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).  Their work was evaluated by university scientists and representatives of Becker Mining Systems LLC, Siberian Anthracite JSC, Raspadskaya Coal Company LLC, and others. They asked the contestants questions, noted the originality of their ideas, the realism and economic impact of the projects, and gave practical advice.

The best of the miners were the "Miners of Kuzbass" – Ivan Kravchenko (captain), Evgeny Raifekerst, Vadim Shinkevich and Vladimir Ivanov. In their work, they took into account all the climatic, infrastructural, mining and geological conditions of the diamond deposit and proposed the most complete and technically and economically sound solution.

Future power engineers presented presentations of the case "Development of a Transitional Monitoring System (TMS) ECO of the East". The students developed a schedule for the installation of new SMPR recorders of the ECO of the East until 2025, taking into account the energy system of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) and proposed measures to improve its energy efficiency. The experts were scientists from the Technical University and representatives of the Kuzbass branches of SGK LLC, JSC SO UES Regional Dispatching Department of Energy Systems of Kemerovo and Tomsk Regions (Kemerovo RDU), PJSC IDGC of Siberia – Kuzbassenergo – RES, LLC KATEN.

The experts recognized the "V" team consisting of fourth-year students from the Department of Power Supply of Mining and Industrial Enterprises: Maria Frolova (captain), Ksenia Moskaleva, Anastasia Khasanova and Denis Narkevich as the winners of the qualifying stage in the League of Electric Power Industry.

The winners will compete for the title of the best engineering teams in the finals of the International Engineering Championship "Case-In-2019" in Moscow on May 30-31.
