SPbGASU students Alexander Korobov (second-year student in the Faculty of Environmental Engineering and Urban Management), Matvey Matveyev (second-year student in the Faculty of Civil Engineering), and Apollinaria Letunova (first-year student in the Faculty of Civil Engineering) won the Open International Student Internet Olympiad in the discipline "Descriptive Geometry and Engineering Graphics" in a specialized profile (with in-depth study of the discipline).
Alexander Korobov was awarded a gold medal, while Matvey Matveyev and Apollinaria Letunova received silver medals. Olga Leonova, PhD, Associate Professor of the Department of Descriptive Geometry and Engineering Graphics (NGiIG), prepared the students for the Olympiad.
Descriptive geometry is traditionally considered one of the most challenging subjects for students in engineering. It lays the foundation for engineering thinking. "It's not enough to simply learn an algorithm: you need to have a developed spatial imagination," noted Elena Denisova, Head of the Department of Geophysics and Geophysics, Associate Professor, and Candidate of Engineering Sciences.
The Descriptive Geometry Olympiad brought together the strongest students. Students competed in their ability to see the invisible and transfer complex three-dimensional objects onto the plane of a drawing. Participants were presented with 16 advanced problems. For three hours, students worked on tasks that went beyond the standard curriculum:
construction of intersection lines of complex surfaces, tangent planes; solution of metric and positional problems; projection drawing.
The jury assessed not only the accuracy of the final result (the work was completed in the graphics program Kompas-3D), but also the elegance of the chosen solution method.
Congratulations to the winners and runners-up! These students have proven that engineering graphics and descriptive geometry are disciplines that only the most persistent and talented can master.
The second final round was hosted by St. Petersburg State University. The open international student internet olympiads are organized by the Research Institute for Monitoring the Quality of Education. In the 2025–2026 season, internet olympiads are held in 19 disciplines in the humanities and natural sciences. A total of 43,350 students from 130 educational institutions in the Russian Federation and CIS countries participated. 4,809 students from 124 universities and university branches in the Russian Federation, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan were invited to participate in the second round.
