Unless a company buys into a turnkey installation prepared by a system house (consulting companiesspecializing in custom-order integration jobs) where the kinks in integrating disparate system components havealready been worked out (though not always the case), the reality is that systems integration always comes withcomponents that do not exactly match up, or for which fixes have to be made on the fly.

Because the other conditions, including the curriculum, have notbeen changed, and this is the only electrical engineering course offered to freshman students,studying the effect of changes in this course on student outcomes throughout the semester is oneof the goals of this research. This correlation suggests that Arduino projects may play a role inimproving student academic performance by creating a positive view of the application ofElectrical Engineering in their daily life. Moreover, despite variations in average course finalgrades between the two semesters (72.35% and 75.86%, respectively), the consistentrelationship between Arduino projects and reduced low GPAs implies that the
