Towards the CASE-IN: Ural miners solve engineering cases
On December 3, 2015, as part of the VI Ural Mining Forum, the team of the Branch of the NP "Youth Forum of Mining Leaders" of UGSU held a Case contest Forum in Yekaterinburg-Expo.
The case contest forum was held with the support of the Institute of Mining of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
Welcoming the participants, Andrey Glebov, Deputy Director of the IGD Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, noted: "Such formats not only allow participants to express and show themselves professionally, they allow for the most in-depth consideration of production problems, the problems currently facing the company, this is a good experience for students and a good preparation for the realities of future work, I wish everyone more of this experience and victories."
Alyona Lushnikova, Project Manager of the Reliable Change Foundation, Member of the Board of the NP Youth Forum of Mining Leaders She stressed that the case-contests Forum are currently taking place all over the country in support of the International Engineering Case-in Championship and that the guys have a great chance to prepare for it and adequately represent their university and region at the qualifying stage and in the Finals.
13 teams of students from Ural State Mining University presented their solutions to the engineering case "Solid Fuel", in which they proposed ways to increase the production capacity of the mine, reduce social tensions related to road safety due to the coincidence of heavy machinery and civil transport, and considered the possibilities of reducing the effects of hydrological conditions on mining operations in the spring and autumn period, We have also developed a set of measures to reduce the endogenous fire hazard of coal during the summer dry season. All the solutions presented were exceptional, sometimes even unexpectedly unique.
Case solutions were evaluated by experts from the Case Contest Forum: Andrey Glebov, Deputy Director of the IGD Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, PhD, Project Manager of the Reliable Change Foundation, Member of the Management Board
NP "Youth Forum of Mining Leaders" Alena Lushnikova, Head of the Department of Mine Construction of the Ural State Mining University, Doctor of Technical Sciences Mikhail Kornilkov, employee of the Department of Open-pit Mining of the Ural State Mining University Yaroslav Lushnikov.
According to the results of the expert evaluation, the Arkenstone team was recognized as the winner, consisting of Anastasia Ilyina, Evgeny Panshin (fifth-year students specializing in Mine and Underground Construction) and Vladislav Bodovsky (5th-year student specializing in Economics).
The second place was taken by the guys from the Berg-geschworen team: Artem Kolotushkin, a second-year student specializing in Open-pit Mining, and two mine engineering students, Daria Kapulkina and Alexander Klevtsov.
Andrey Artemyev, Nikita Kugaevsky and Alexander Maiburov, fifth-year students of the Mine and Underground Construction specialty, took the third place in terms of total points.
Summing up the event, Mikhail Kornilkov, PhD, Head of the Department of Mine Construction at Ural State Mining University He thanked the organizers for having the honor of judging the participants for the fourth time and noted: "The most important thing is the participants' confidence that they can do everything and even more, and that they need to further develop their professional and leadership skills using tools such as engineering cases."
The winners were awarded diplomas, prizes and ceremoniously put on "golden helmets"! None of the participants left upset, everyone received gifts from the organizers, partners and the main partner of the contest, the Hookah house tea house, and, of course, an invaluable experience!
About the Forum case contest.
The Case Contest Forum is a team competition that takes place in specialized universities in the fields of mining, electric power engineering and geological exploration in support of the International Case-in Championship.
During the Forum, students in teams must solve an engineering case, a practical problem based on the actual production situation at a fuel and energy complex enterprise. 10 days before the stage, students receive a task (case study) and begin to solve it. Each area has its own case topic. On the day of the case contest, participants defend their decisions before a jury composed of industry experts, managers and specialists of human resources and technology services of leading fuel and energy companies, representatives of scientific and educational centers, case specialists.
The organizers of the Case Contest Forums are the Reliable Shift Foundation, the Non-profit Partnership Youth Forum of Mining Leaders, and Universities participating in the Case-in Championship.
The International Case-in Championship is a practice-oriented educational project for university students and postgraduates studying in the fields of mining, electric power engineering, geological exploration, oil and gas, and metallurgy.
The Case-in championship is held in the format of a competition consisting of in-person qualifying stages, which take place on the basis of universities, as well as the final stage, which takes place in Moscow. As part of the qualifying stages, teams (up to 4 people each), which are formed among students and graduate students of the relevant university, solve an engineering case dedicated to the actual problems of real enterprises. The winner of each qualifying stage is
1 team that gets the right to participate in the Championship finals, where the final case is decided.
The Case-in Championship will be held for the fourth time, starting in 2013. More than 2,000 participants from 35 universities in 27 regions of Russia and Kazakhstan are expected.
The project is included in the annual action plan of the Government of the Russian Federation aimed at popularizing working and engineering professions and is supported by the Ministry of Energy of Russia, the Ministry of Natural Resources of Russia, the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia, Rosmolodezh, the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia, the Ministry of Labor of Russia, and the Agency for Strategic Initiatives.
