A group of French students visited Chelyabinsk Pipe Plant as part of Spring University 2019 program.

On May, 13 students of Spring University 2019 traveled to Chelyabinsk which is 200 km away from Ekaterinburg to visit Chelyabinsk Pipe Plant.

Chelpipe is a partner of UrFU and together with the Department of International Education Programs they create project work for short-term students. This year the track of Spring University 2019 is Data Analysis and 9 students from France came to study at UrFU for 4 months and one more student is expected to arrive in June. 

Students have a tight schedule filled with lectures and very soon they are going to start working on 2 projects from Chelpipe: 1) electricity consumption forecast; 2) detection of defects on X-rays.   

Students had a meeting with Aleksandr Lunev, who explained them their future projects and after safety instruction all group proceeded to the shops where the tubes and pipes are produced. 

"I saw a big plate of steel and the next moment it turned into a pipe", says Alexis, one of French students. 

The others were impressed by the size of the shops, automation and cleanliness. 

The students will continue working on their projects until the end of July together with Professor Koshelev who will be their project coordinator.
