Meet the CASE-IN or 200,000 Mongolian tugriks!

Friends, while you are preparing for the New Year, the International Engineering Case-In Championship (formerly the All-Russian Fuel and Energy Case Solving Championship) crossed the state border of the Russian Federation in the Transbaikalia region, crossed the Khentei-Daurian Highlands and reached Ulaanbaatar!!! (This is in Mongolia).

The overseas qualifying stage of the Case-In in Mongolia will be held at the Mongolian State University of Science and Technology (SHUTIS).

How did it happen? How did we achieve this success?

A well-deserved role in the expansion of the case movement into the international arena belongs to the Branch of the Youth Forum of Mining Leaders at the Trans-Baikal State University (Chita).

As you know, the Mining Faculty of ZabGU embarked on the rails of the case movement back in the era of the Mining Case Solving Championship (old-timers remember: that was in 2013). And since then, not only has he not stopped, but he has also been infecting new enthusiasts with solutions to engineering cases.  

Just two months ago on the Case-In website we told you how, through the efforts of the Zabaikal branch of the IFFGD The first Case Contest Forum was held in SHUTIS Following which, the Director of the SHUTIS Institute of Geology and Mining, Bavuu Chinzorig, expressed his intention to introduce the case study method into the training of mining engineers on an ongoing basis.

The Trans-Baikal activists decided to consolidate their success and help their colleagues from Mongolia prepare for a meeting with the strongest Russian students already within the framework of the Case-In. To this end, the SECOND Case Contest Forum was held in Ulaanbaatar last week, which was attended not only by SHUTIS students, winners of the previous FCC, but also by a landing of mining students from ZabGU.

So, Mongolia - Russia, 3 teams of the Mining Faculty of ZabGU against three teams of the SHUTIS Institute of Geology and Mining. Ours won.  The guests won gold and silver, and the hosts won bronze. Not only professional knowledge has affected, but also the experience of case defense accumulated by Siberians over three years, which proves once again that all training case events bring you closer to the desired victory.

In short, assemble a team, organize your own case contest Forum, train and get ready.: International Engineering Championship Case-In it starts in February 2016.. And if you make it to the Finals, you will definitely face off against your colleagues from Mongolia.

During this time, the winners of the case contest in Ulaanbaatar will have to decide how to spend a cash prize of 200,000 Mongolian tugriks.  You can ask them yourself on our page. http://vk.com/young_miners .
