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.

ConclusionThe experimental apparatus described in this paper is a valuable addition to the undergraduatemechanical engineering laboratory. This was accomplished with zero cost to the engineeringdepartment at IPFW. This was made possible for two main reasons: the financial support fromASHRAE and the effort of a capstone senior design team. The experimental apparatus isportable. This allows the system to be used for laboratory experiments and classroomdemonstrations. The sample results prove that the apparatus is well designed

While theformat and procedure of conducting capstone projects vary between programs and disciplines,such projects normally take two semesters to complete and in the majority of cases, students areorganized in teams of three or more.The computer science, engineering, and engineering technology curricula at Penn StateHarrisburg include a capstone design project that allows students to use their problem solvingskills and the technical knowledge they gain throughout their college experience to solvemoderately complex problems by developing a device or system that meets certain specificrequirements.

Notably, these student projects are conducted in anengineering education setting where programming fluency at the level required to create AI andML tools is not generally attained by the students using the tools. This is reflective of a wideadoption of AI and ML tools across various fields. The use of AI and ML resources arebecoming ubiquitous in many fields where programming fluency is not typically associated, suchas medicine [5,6] and business [7].

SummaryThe transition to a successful member of the academy can be supported in many ways by hiringinstitutions, through formal mentoring programs, encouraging informal mentoring anddeveloping faculty learning communities. While first year faculty are encouraged to participatein these, it is also wise to develop supportive relationships within the broader institutioncommunity that can provide social interaction as well as a network for dealing with issues ofteaching, research and service.
