Funding ranged from approximately $25,000 peryear for institutions new to the program, to nearly $17,000 per year for institutions that hadbeen in the program three years or longer. Design projects undertaken by USRA ADP teamswere suggested by NASA-based engineers, associated contractors and university faculty. At theend of the academic year, each team presented its design work in a non-competitive conferenceheld at a NASA center.When the NASA/USRA ADP ended in 1995, the Texas Space Grant Consortium adopted themodel in order to sponsor its own statewide version of

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.

The goal of the lab was to illustrate some of the abstract concepts of the courseusing "hands-on” experience. A secondary goal of the lab was to strengthen a student’sunderstanding of Computer Aided Control System Design (CACSD). The second phase of thedevelopment of this lab was to determine and overcome the challenges and barriers ofimplementing the lab remotely.

Multiple factors contribute to retention issues, such as poor teaching and advising, the difficulty of the engineering curriculum, and lack of motivation resulting from poor connections to the engineering community. Statistics indicate a large drop in the continuation rate between the first and third years among Science, Technology, Engineering, Math (STEM) students. As students encounter increasing course difficulty in the early stages of their programs, they often lack motivation to persist because they have weak connections to their majors and potential careers in STEM.

Traditional practices should, in no way, be dismissed;however, it should include approaches where students are able to apply what has beenlearned in the classroom.
