Using Visualization Tools to Understand Complex Engineering Processes

Most engineers deal with complex systems. Uncovering these systems for students is a key to their ability to design the systems. Michael Kyte and John Anderson will talk about the development of curriculum and the supporting visual tools to help students more deeply understand the components (machine and human) of the traffic control system through an interdisciplinary partnership between faculty and students from the College of Engineering and the College of Art and Architecture.
