The IV Polytechnic Olympiad in Hydraulics was held at the Institute of Civil Engineering of SPbPU. 20 second-year undergraduate and specialist students of the Institute of Civil Engineering participated in it.
The children had to solve four problems on hydrostatics, the Bernoulli equation, and also perform hydraulic calculations for pipelines.
Victoria Kozhevnikova and Zlata Maksimova completed the tasks best, Anna Andreeva came in second, and Ilya Spiridonov and Daniil Golyatin came in third. High results in the Olympiad give the students advantages when applying for a master’s degree.
Diplomas and prizes were presented by Deputy Director for Academic and Methodological Work at ISI Maxim Terekh, Associate Professor of the Higher School of Hydraulic Engineering and Energy Construction Elena Loktionova and Assistant of the Higher School of Hydraulic Engineering and Energy Construction Anna Dontsova.
“The Olympiad format of involving students in solving non-standard hydraulic problems not only increases interest in studying engineering disciplines, but also helps them adapt to future professional activities,” noted Elena Loktionova, associate professor at the Higher School of Hydraulic and Power Engineering. “Whether it is construction, ecology, water supply, sanitation, heat supply, ventilation, oil and gas production, mechanical engineering, metallurgy or other related industries – there are many hydraulic problems everywhere. And the introduction of modern materials and technologies into practice adds new questions. Of course, they all have their own specifics, but they are based on the general base mastered by students at the university.”
