The workshop in brief:
The workshop explores the evolution of engineering disciplines and the shift from linear models to nonlinear dynamics and Prediction Engineering. The objective is to demonstrate that chaos is not disorder but a deeper form of order, and to teach engineers to design with uncertainty rather than against it.
Participants:
40 students and lecturers
Place: Ibn Sina Hall – Room 400
Session topics:
1. The Evolution of Engineering: From Bridges to Prediction Engineering
2. When Prediction Fails: The Tacoma Narrows Bridge and Northeast Blackout
3. Edward Norton Lorenz and The Butterfly Effect
4. Mitchell Feigenbaum and the Universal Constants of Chaos
5. Case Study: Nonlinear Dynamics in Concrete Cracking
presenters
Prof. Dr. Ibrahim Hamarash Salahaddin University-Erbil
Participants will learn to shift their engineering perspective to acknowledge that small causes can produce large effects, enabling them to better forecast system behaviors and design for reality.
