The current developments in structural engineering aim at the creation of a digital twin on which the real behaviour can be mirrored. The planning is often based on static, but increasingly also on dynamic calculations - especially in the case of extreme loads. In addition to the traditional force-based approaches, the experience and observations on the deformation behaviour of individual components and the overall structure under different action conditions allows for the introduction of new design and evaluation criteria.

Forecast Engineering focuses on the handling of complex engineering tasks using modern tools and finding their scientific positioning in existing interdisciplinary projects. The participants are trained to comprehensively grasp special topics of civil engineering and to develop solutions by using modern methods and tools. The transfer of real existing buildings into different basic structural models, comparing their robustness with respect to increasing abstractness and reduced dimensionality, and the estimation of reaction properties under dynamic load and certain interaction effects are discussed. The participants are also trained in visualising structures and validating the created models, using state-of-the-art design, analysis and simulation methods as well as the novel technologies such as VR visualisation tools. Impulse lectures by international experts from partner universities and recognised research institutions additionally provide insight into current research projects and the international development trends. Discussions and the exchange of ideas with faculty and other participants during and after classes further enhance each student's personal experience and greatly benefit all participants. The course also offers excursions to building sites and leading companies as well as a programme of cultural events.
