Gorny students became the winners of the CASE-IN

Four teams of the Mining University won prizes in the finals of the VII International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN".

The intellectual competition was held in Moscow for the seventh year in a row. It is held in parallel in several leagues – among schoolchildren, students and young professionals. Its goal is to popularize engineering and technical education and attract the most promising candidates to the fuel and energy and mineral resource complexes.

"The most talented, active, motivated guys from the regions come to the final stage, who have a unique opportunity to meet potential employers, prove themselves, receive an internship invitation or a job offer," said Artem Korolev, founder and co-chairman of the organizing committee of the Championship, at the opening ceremony of the award ceremony.

More than 5,000 students from all over the country and neighboring countries took part in the qualifying stages. As a result, 540 future engineers from 60 regions of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan met in the final. The format of the championship involved solving engineering cases – practical tasks based on real production situations in specialized companies. The theme of this season is "Digital Transformation". The expert jury included representatives of 25 leading companies in the industry.

The students of the oldest technical university in Russia were awarded in four of the seven areas of the championship. They won silver medals in the Mining, Oil and Gas, and Exploration categories, as well as a bronze medal in the Electric Power Industry.

"The Electric Power Industry nomination was highly competitive – even in the final round, 33 teams competed. A bronze medal is a success! The fact is that the members of our WeWatt team represent four different departments of the Mining University – electric power engineering, power supply, automation and electric drive. At the same time, most of our competitors from other specialized universities were energy engineering students who have been studying for five and a half years in specialized programs from leading companies in the country, such as FGC UES. For the first time in 5 years of the case, we have reached the prize place! More than a dozen sleepless nights, a myriad of studied technical literature, but I can say that it was worth it!" one of the winners of the championship, a student of the Mining University Alexey Zamyatin, shared his impressions.

It should be noted that this year the championship joined the Russia – Land of Opportunities platform, created in 2018 on the initiative of Russian President Vladimir Putin. It aims to combine human resources, social and educational projects from all over the country and become an open platform for communication and exchange of experience between entrepreneurs and young people.
