Larry promotes engineering in every context possible. He is especially interested in promoting the technical literacy of all citizens, not just those who intend to be engineers. To this end, he and several colleagues at Wichita State have developed a course using LEGO MINDSTORMS in a hands-on environment to demonstrate basic engineering skills to nonengineering undergraduates. He also coordinates a LEGO MINDSTORMS challenge competition for middle school students. Finally, he promotes engineering by training his two sons, Joshua and David, to love building LEGO robots.
Larry holds bachelor's and master's degrees from Oklahoma State University. After spending 10 years in the aerospace industry as a practicing engineer, he completed his Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Arlington.ver menos
