. However, if instruction is too heavily focused on the technical skills of using GIS,then the theory, concepts, or science behind the problems being explored may not be fullyunderstood [5]. In an engineering context, GIS has tremendous potential as a teaching tool toimprove student learning of various civil engineering concepts, whether through simulations,data exploration or manipulation, or example projects from different civil engineeringdisciplines. For instance, flyover animations of a topographic surface in a GIS map can helpstudents connect the two-dimensional representation of elevation data to its three-dimensionalreality, thus improving visualization skills. Working with large spatial datasets such asdocumented vehicular crashes in
