Student experiences with traffic operations are plentiful and, whenused strategically, can be capitalized upon to improve comprehension of complex concepts andmaterials. Experimental work has been done to gauge effectiveness of active learning strategiesin transportation engineering courses [14] - [19]. Concept maps [14], games [15], problem-oriented and project-based learning [16], group work [17], simulation [18], and inquiry-basedlearning [19] are a few strategies researchers have focused on in previous work.

Engineers bynature design, create, and construct solutions for the human population. Providing a functional project orproduct is critical; yet designs also need to be safe. An example of safe design thinking is the Samsung Note7 issue from 2016 that worked until it was taken on flights and then started to catch fire. Scenarios such asthis, raise the question regarding how we develop students to both be aware of safe practices, but moreimportantly, gain a desire for life-long learning about health and

process. Struggles in statistical training for engineers is not anew phenomenon, and pedagogical approaches were debated as early as 1984 on the best way totrain engineering students effectively [1]. With the varying needs of different engineeringdisciplines, approaches varied widely in an effort to focus on the needs of their students. A shiftto more student participation-focused instruction was developed through an EducationInnovation Project through the Polytechnic University of Valencia in 1995 [2]. In this line ofthought, many engineering statistics courses have shifted to incorporating examples that aremore relevant and challenging students with applying statistics to relevant real-world problemsin their fields with more focus on problem
