Results of the qualifying stage of the Autumn CASE-IN Cup in the North Caucasus Federal District

The team of the North Caucasus Mining and Metallurgical Institute and two teams of the North Caucasus Federal University reached the final The Autumn Cup of the Student League of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" − competitions included in the the presidential platform "Russia – the land of opportunities". During the Autumn Cup, students from universities in Russia and the CIS countries solve engineering cases on topical issues of fuel and energy and mineral resource complexes. Autumn Championship Cup "CASE-IN" It is dedicated to the single theme of the 2019 season, Digital Transformation.

The qualifying stage of the Autumn Cup of the CASE-IN Championship, which was held in the North Caucasus Federal District, was attended by 36 teams from universities in the region, leading training in engineering specialties.

The participants of the competition presented solutions to the case "Digital prospects for the development of the Far East". They selected promising energy projects within the territories of advanced development (TOP) and developed a list of digital solutions for the innovative development of the selected production project. The students also justified the safety of production processes and the economic efficiency of their solutions.

Three teams became the finalists of the Autumn Cup of the CASE-IN Championship in the North Caucasus Federal District.

Team North Caucasus Mining and Metallurgical Institute "Nemesis"(Kirill Avdeev, Vladimir Gostev, Vyacheslav Donchenko and Valery Lebedev) chose two priority development territories: the Kangalassy Industrial Park in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) and Beringovsky in the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug. The team identified the problems of exploitation − environmental pollution and loss of electricity – and developed an action plan for the development of these territories.

Team North Caucasus Federal University "NCFUteam" (John Burlak, Maria Ilinykh, and Daria Tuchina) believe that the Far East, as a subsystem of Russia's national economic system, is a key link in the country's integration processes in the Asia-Pacific region. The team chose the Komsomolsk priority development area in the Khabarovsk Territory and developed a digital transformation path for it using Industry 4.0 technology.

Team North Caucasus Federal University Air Energy (Ali Gaunov, Roman Zvezdilin, Alim Murzakanov, Arsen Shidov) has proposed a number of digital technologies for the Amur thermal Power Plant, designed to meet the needs of the Amur Gas Processing Plant under construction in the Amur Region, the world's second largest gas processing plant.

On December 12-13, 2019, three NCFD teams and finalists from other federal districts will meet in the final of the Autumn Cup of the CASE-IN Championship in Moscow to compete for the title of the strongest student engineering team. The winners of the Autumn Cup will receive a worthy reward – internships and internships in leading industry companies, as well as the opportunity to enroll on preferential terms in master's and postgraduate studies at partner universities of the CASE-IN Championship.

The autumn Cup of the CASE-IN Championship is a new wave of competitions The International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN", which are held in each of the eight federal districts of Russia with the support of ANO "Russia – the land of opportunities".

The Autumn Cup of the CASE-IN Championship is attended by university students who are training in engineering, as well as high school students from Russian schools and young specialists from energy companies.
