The second stage of the scholarship competition for student works within the educational project "Materium Education" of the Russian Association of Polymer Energy-Efficient Technologies (RAPET) took place at the Institute of Civil Engineering of SPbPU.
In the first stage of the competition, participants completed the "Modern Polymer Materials in Construction" course and received personalized certificates. The second stage—a BIM design competition—involved team and individual student participation in three categories: "Design of a Single-Family Residential Building," "Design of a Multi-Apartment Residential Building," and "Design of a Public Building." The third stage involved a student record competition, which will determine the finalists based on a combination of successful course completion, project assignment completion, and high academic performance. The top ten participants will receive a stipend for six months.
The jury for the second stage of the competition included: RAPET Chairperson Natalia Pavlenko, Head of the Technical Department of PENOPLEX SPb Yasmin Begich, RAPET Marketing Director Inessa Isaeva, RAPET Technical Specialist Antonina Melnikova, Director of the Institute of Civil Engineering at SPbPU Marina Petrochenko, and Senior Lecturer at the Higher School of Industrial, Civil and Road Construction at ISI Liliya Talipova.
Participants submitted projects utilizing polymer construction materials and technologies, including thermal insulation, waterproofing, profiled drainage membranes, and others. Following the project presentations, an expert committee determined the winners and runners-up in each category. In the "Design of a Private Residential Building" category, the "Building the Future" team, consisting of Oleg Smolkin, Anna Bogdanova, and Nikita Zavertkin, took first place. Alexey Golubev placed second, and Yegor Moiseyev and Nikita Shichenko placed third.
In the "Multi-Apartment Residential Building Design" category, Daniil Dmitriev and Ivan Uglov took first place. Second place went to the "Kirpich" team, consisting of Ilya Paleev, Elizaveta Arbuzova, and Svetlana Sapozhnikova. Andrey Golubev took third place.
In the "Public Building Design" category, first place went to Semyon Ivanov, and second place to Alexander Kudryavtsev.
Participating in the competition allows students to acquire new knowledge, competencies, and practical skills. The experience gained will contribute to their professional development and future projects, says Yasmin Begić.
Polymer materials are rapidly being introduced into the construction industry, finding ever-wider application in modern technologies. Therefore, teaching students design solutions using polymer materials is an important task for instructors. The scholarship competition provides an opportunity to address this issue in practice, as students not only gain up-to-date knowledge of the properties and applications of materials but also acquire skills in using them in developing design documentation, noted Marina Petrochenko.
The winners and runners-up were awarded modern smartphones, tablets, and certificates—the total prize fund for the competition was one million rubles.
