AnimationsAbstract: Complex engineering systems often require dynamic coordination of multidisciplinaryteams with conflicting objectives. Failing to understand the complex relationships among theconflicting objectives may result in serious engineering failures. In engineering education, one ofthe challenges in teaching complex systems is the lack of effective tools to demonstrate systemdynamics, especially spatial-temporal relationships in the system. The described project in thispaper is supported by grants from Engineering Education program of the National ScienceFoundation. In the project civil/construction engineering cases are used as the context to test theproposed new teaching/learning tool on the subject and to demonstrate the effectiveness of
