Abstract: :A new created interdisciplinary general education course Complex Science and Philosophy was presented, and the course design, content structure and teaching organization were described. Based on the data collected by questionnaire, interview and classroom teaching evaluation scale, the SPSS descriptive statistical analysis was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the learning model based on complex system modeling and simulation platform. The results indicated that it is very necessary and successful to create the new interdisciplinary general education course Complex Science and Philosophy. The teaching strategy used is practical and effective. This course enhanced the students curiosity, extended their knowledge, and achieved some blend of arts and science.
