Commercial FEA softwareis moderately used in the engineering technology programs during coursework; however, its usebecomes essential during capstone design. Some capstone projects are fluid mechanics-based andthe need to use CFD software comes at hand to develop a complete project in this field. Forexample, the simulation of a new valve design, or the design a new fire sprinkler head, are someof the topics that were sponsored by industry partners at the University of North Texas. Studentswere not equipped with CFD knowledge, and they were limited to very simple designs.For these reasons, there is a need to introduce CFD into fluid mechanics courses in engineeringtechnology programs but

With the help from Prof. Tom Minnich, who was the department chair at that time, Dr.Cao decided to bring the Lego Robots in his class and assigned a group of students using it as aproject for microprocessor class in fall 2000.
