SPbGASU has closed the All-Russian TIM Championship "Bridges-2025". Participants designed a bridge across a river in the Leningrad Region.
The team from the Siberian Transport University was declared the winner, scoring 289 points. The team included PhD students Artem Korotin and Aleksey Patryak, and students Artem Shipilov and Dmitry Kolosov.
The STU participants, who worked remotely, cited the sheer volume of the technical specifications as the main challenge. They credited their Siberian character, coordinated, fast-paced work, and the significant amount of effort invested in the project for their success.
The team from the St Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering was just one point away from victory. Our team scored 288 points. The team included students Igor Rudakov, Maria Zobova, Vyacheslav Zolotov, and Danil Neprin.
Our university's students believe they performed well. While they were unaccustomed to working under tight deadlines, this experience will be useful in their future careers.
TIM Championship expert Dmitry Yaroshutin, Senior Lecturer at the SPbGASU Department of Transport Systems and Road and Bridge Construction, and CEO of the "Bridges" Competence Center LLC, emphasized that the competition was evenly matched. He compared TIM Championships to high-performance sports, where hundredths of a second decide everything.
Leonid Solovyev, Associate Professor at the STU Department of Bridges and Head of the Division of Automated Information Systems and Numerical Calculation Methods at the Siberian Research Institute of Bridges (SibNII Bridges), was the guest of honor on the final day of the TIM Championship. Leonid Yuryevich expressed confidence that such competitions help a person blossom as an engineer, promising to keep sending his students to such events in the future.
The TIM Championship was held by the SPbGASU Educational Center for Digital Competence (ECDC) as part of the federal innovation platform "Innovative Methodology for Developing Digital Professional Competencies of Students and Specialists in the Construction Industry," which is being implemented at our university.
The organizers plan to continue this trend and expand the geography of the All-Russian TIM Championship from SPbGASU "Bridges."
