The integrated PRD process is detailed in an earlier paper (Brumbelow, Fowler,Morgan, & Anthony, 2014). The current paper illustrates the significance of the PRD systemapproach to inspire transformative change. Faculty who participate in the PRD process, as part ofthe program’s Curriculum Transformation Team (CTT), experience a major shift in perspectivefrom apprehension of the scope and need for the change to seeing the curriculum asinterconnected and an iterative process to enhance student learning.

Many students also useArduino in their senior design projects. Witnessing that Arduino is being introduced at high schoollevel [11], and after experimenting with one section of first year students, we decided to introduceall mechanical engineering students to Arduino early in their first year. This gives an opportunityfor our students to learn about microcontrollers, circuits, electronics, sensor-actuator integrationand programming at the beginning of their education in a project-based environment. It is hopedthat the students will become more confidant in integrating mechanical parts

In addition, the students are expected to integrate thisknowledge into the design of functioning machinery.The second research question is related to the student affective response to the class. By the third(and sometimes fourth) year in the curriculum students are familiar and comfortable with thetraditional lecture and homework style of teaching and learning and are sometimes uncomfortablewith the more active classroom making change difficult. We wanted to determine if studentsbecome comfortable with the active approach to MC/MSD and whether they might even prefer itto a traditional format.Lastly we wanted to understand the faculty experience of switching from a traditional approach toan Active Learning
