Polytechnic students reached the final of the "CASE-IN" championship

On March 11, the qualifying stage took place at the Voronezh State University of Engineering Technologies VIII International Engineering CASE-IN Championship, part of the presidential platform "Russia is a land of opportunity". The flagship university was successfully represented at the competition by the team of future petrochemical industry specialists "Natives of Strukovsky". The team consists of students from the Faculty of Chemistry and Technology Alexandra Shiyabutdinova (Captain) and Ruslan Atazhanov, postgraduate student of the Department of "Technology of Organic and Petrochemical Synthesis" Vladimir Yemelyanov and Elena Avdeeva representing the Faculty of Engineering and Economics.

During the qualifying stage in the field of Petrochemistry, the guys developed a project for the technological modernization of a petrochemical industry enterprise in 10 days. They proposed to create a site for the collection and preparation of used PET packaging, as well as to ensure the uninterrupted supply of secondary polymers as raw materials. The case for future specialists was developed based on materials from SIBUR, a strategic partner of the Petrochemistry division of the CASE-IN championship.

The students' solutions were evaluated by experts from Voronezhsintezkauchuk JSC, Sovtech LLC and representatives of the faculty of the Voronezh State University of Engineering Technologies. As a result, the Polytechnic team was recognized as the silver medalist of the competition.

By the way, the "Natives of Strukovsky" are experienced participants in the championship. So, last fall, students developed a project to create an Eastern Petrochemical Company in the Neftekhimicheskiy TOP in Primorsky Krai and proposed the commissioning of digital solutions (Big Data, "PoT", digital twins, as well as a mobile MRO system) and technological options for improving production energy efficiency. With this project, the guys became participants The Autumn Cup CASE-IN and they represented their university at the finals in Moscow.

In the new season, Polytechnic students will go to the finals in May, where they will compete with teams from other universities in Russia and the CIS. The winners of the championship finals will receive valuable prizes, the opportunity to participate in the All-Russian industry summer forums, advantages in admission to graduate and postgraduate studies, and will also be able to complete internships at leading companies in the industry.

The CASE-IN Championship is an international competition system for solving engineering cases among students, schoolchildren and young professionals. The organizers are the Reliable Change Foundation, the Non−profit Partnership Youth Forum of Mining Leaders and AstraLogica LLC.
