Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University held the final round of the All-Russian Student Olympiad “I am a Professional” in the Mechanical Engineering category. The competition in the bachelor’s degree category was held at the site of the Russian power engineering company JSC Power Machines. Participants in the final round solved interesting practical cases developed by experts from enterprises. The names of the winners of the VIII season of the All-Russian Student Olympiad “I am a Professional” will be announced in June. The Olympiad is being implemented within the framework of the federal project “Russia – Country of Opportunities” of the national project “Youth and Children” with the support of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of Russia.
The final round was attended by 19 people from 10 universities of the country: Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, TPU, Bauman Moscow State Technical University, NSTU, MAI, MEPhI, Ulyanov Chuvash State University, RUDN, MISiS and Empress Catherine II St. Petersburg Mining University. Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University has been supervising the Mechanical Engineering program for several seasons in a row. In total, the Olympiad covers 71 subject areas. To reach the final, students passed the qualifying round and then participated in the semi-finals.
Before the competition, the companies’ employees gave the participants a tour, during which they introduced them to the main areas of their activities. Then the students received assignments for the final stage. The Olympiad participants solved practical cases compiled by the company’s engineers. Severstal representatives from the Repair Directorate and the Talent Development Department also acted as experts. PAO Severstal is a partner of the I Am a Professional student Olympiad.
Participation in the Olympiad is a great opportunity to test your knowledge and skills, make new acquaintances, and decide on a career development direction. In the eighth season, we not only involved our partners in compiling practice-oriented tasks, but also “asked to visit” so that the participants of the competition could test themselves on a real production site, that is, feel like engineering special forces in action. St. Petersburg Polytechnic University traditionally organizes several areas in the Olympiad “I am a professional”. Let me remind you that the winners of the Olympiad receive additional points when entering a master’s and postgraduate program, – noted Vitaly Drobchik, Advisor to the Rector’s Office of SPbPU and organizer of the Olympiad at the Polytechnic University.
The All-Russian Student Olympiad “I am a Professional” is a large-scale platform for testing the knowledge and applied skills of students from Russian universities, as well as a unique system of career support. The Olympiad has been held since 2017 and covers 71 subject areas: from aircraft engineering to artificial intelligence. This year, SPbPU is organizing competitions in the Mechanical Engineering and Hotel Business tracks. An innovation of this season was the provision of access to the Olympiad career portal to participants in the selection round. Every student interested in professional development will be able to try their hand at internships at more than 700 companies – industry leaders.
Organizing such competitions for students is an important part of our comprehensive work on training highly qualified engineers. The special value of the cases of this Olympiad is that they are based on real production tasks, and thus students can get to know the profession they have chosen better, and we can help them better prepare for their future work and try to interest them, – said Konstantin Savichev, Director of the Engineering Center of Power Machines.
The Olympiad provides a wide range of career support opportunities: project diploma holders can take advantage of benefits when entering the next level of education, get the opportunity to do an internship and start their professional career with leading Russian employers. Cash prizes of up to 300 thousand rubles are provided for medalists.
