The introduction, in the 1970s, of the CYCLONE (YCLic Operation NEt-tuorks) simulation methodology established simulation of construction systems as an active area for teaching and research. Since then, there has been considerable progress in developing sophisticated simulation-based methods for the analysis of construction processes, and in educational approaches to teach these methods that can be easily incorporated within the construction engineering and management curriculum. CYCLONE, and more specifically MicroCYCLONE, a microcomputer-based program based on this simulation methodology, offer a simple graphical system for the analysis, modeling and experimentation of construction operations. The programs can be readily understood by anyone familiar with construction processes-from construction engineering students to engineering and field personnel. This paper discusses the integration of process simulation into construction engineering education, including a brief description of the general configuration and implementation of the system, and a discussion on some of the problems associated with teaching simulation and possible solutions
