JuliaCon 2025

Engineering with Julia

The “Engineering with Julia” minisymposium aims to bring together researchers, industry professionals, and educators to showcase Julia's contributions to engineering. We will explore its transformative potential for enhancing infrastructure, advancing reliability, and promoting sustainability in the context of modern engineering solutions. We also aim to provide a platform for open discussion on the computational tools that engineers rely on in today’s research, practice, and education.


Description

Julia’s growing engineering community is actively leveraging its user-friendly syntax, high-performance capabilities, and ever-growing package ecosystem to address complex engineering challenges. Its advanced features, such as mature meta-programming and multiple dispatch, enable unprecedented automation of complex workflows, making engineering calculations more efficient and approachable.

Julia’s robust foundation extends into tools developed by the SciML organization, including state-of-the-art differential equation solvers and optimization algorithms, all supported by high-quality automatic differentiation infrastructure. The ecosystem further empowers engineers with visualization tools like Plots.jl and Makie.jl, interactive platforms such as Pluto.jl notebooks, and professional documentation options through Quarto and Typst. Combined with other Julia-based tools that seamlessly integrate into common engineering workflows, this underscores Julia's relevance to modern engineering practices.

The “Engineering with Julia” minisymposium invites submissions from both new and experienced Julia users across all engineering disciplines, with a particular focus on Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Aerospace, and Environmental Engineering fields, while remaining open to contributions from other fields. Through this event, we aim to highlight Julia’s innovations, demonstrating its potential to transform engineering research, practice, and education across all possible fields of engineering. Join us in showcasing how Julia is shaping the future of engineering.
