important for undergraduate engineering programs to integrate cross-disciplinary learningactivities into the curriculum. Moreover, the emergence of “big data” across many engineering disciplines has led to the need for training and education related to the collection,management, and analysis of “big data”. We develop an interdisciplinary, active learning module for First-Year Engineering (FYE) programs that combines content from civil, electrical, andcomputer engineering while also familiarizing students with “big data” science. In this learning module, students compare and contrast the challenges of gathering comprehensive and qualitytransportation data through advanced technologies and traditional approaches. Students develop basic computer code
