"Today, the construction market is digitalizing and is in dire need of relevant specialists. Therefore, together with industrial partners, we are implementing and supporting innovative educational initiatives, which include the TIM Championship. It allows participants not only to gain primary experience in information modeling, develop existing competencies, but also to pump up soft skills, for example, teamwork. All this contributes to a successful start in professional activity," noted Viktoria Vinogradova.
Having successfully completed the tasks of the correspondence stage, the teams from the Novosibirsk College of Architecture and Construction, Novgorod College of Construction, St Petersburg College of Architecture and Construction, Belgorod College of Construction, Perm Construction College, Rostov-on-Don College of Construction, Khabarovsk Technical College, Bryansk College of Construction named after Professor N. E. Zhukovsky reached the final of the TIM Championship. Within three working days, they will design an apartment building.
The head of the basic resource center "Novstroy" and the team of the Novgorod College of Construction Tatiana Veselova said that the college tries to take part in many competitions.
"Participation in competitions helps students develop their abilities and motivates them. When they get a profession, the guys strive to achieve their goals, outline a path that will lead to career growth in the future, and understand that a certified specialist needs experience to be successful. The TIM Championship is aimed at acquiring practical skills, which is what makes it interesting. Our team prepared for it and is motivated to win," noted Tatiana Veselova.
Third-year student of Novgorod College of Construction Viktor Golubev recalled that representatives of his college participated in TIM Championship last year. This year, he decided to fill his gap. “We have been studying 3D modeling throughout the entire educational process, thanks to which we consider ourselves well prepared for TIM Championship. Information modeling is a relatively new and promising direction in the market, so specialists are in demand here. We need to have time to enter this niche and become the best. I am only determined to win!” Viktor noted.
Fourth-year student of the Perm Construction College Ksenia Yarusova is a future architect, but since this position was already occupied in the team, she is performing in a different area of activity. To do this, she studied the requirements stated in the conditions of the TIM Championship and prepared for it.
"Immersion in the specifics of related specialists' activities has its advantages: it is much easier to work as an architect if you know, for example, the nuances of water supply design. This will allow to minimize all inconsistencies in the project and misunderstandings with related companies. Information modeling is no longer the future, but the present of our industry, therefore, in order to be a sought-after and successful specialist, you need to have the appropriate knowledge and skills. The TIM Championship gives you the opportunity to acquire them. Our team has prepared a lot for it and will do our best to win," shared Ksenia Yarusova.
