Abstract
As a supplement to an introduction to engineering systems course, the article presents a self-paced, web-based learning tool that introduces computer concepts by simulating the Lego Mindstorm s RCX programmable brick. It discusses the motivation for creating this tool and its implementation. The materials presented give students a broader perspective of an engineering system (the computer) and a sense of what goes on under the hood of a computer. They also give students, in conjunction with a physical laboratory project, a sense of working on a real workplace assignment.
