The ReScuE framework is highly scalable, and its labs cover different secu-rity and privacy facets of pervasive computing, which makes it versatile for various educationalpurposes. Between 2017 and 2022, we performed pilot studies, formal assessments, and contin-uous refinement at two institutions. The assessment results show that the ReScuE labs achievea high satisfaction rate and positive learning experiences regardless of students’ ethnic and aca-demic backgrounds. Similar results were observed even during the COVID-19 pandemic when wetransitioned to online teaching and learning.2 Related WorkThe rise of virtualization and cloud computing has enabled

Curriculum StructureBy following the engineering criteria developed and listed above we can create a unifyingframework for the development of the undergraduate Machine Learning for Engineers courseand curriculum. This allows faculty who teach the course to have a coherent curriculum in whichharmony is achieved for all aspects of course goals and objectives, design, syllabus, as well asmethods of teaching and assessment [28][29]. We have identified five distinct concept areas,which can be taught as course modules.4.1 Introduction to Deep Learning ConceptsAt the very beginning of the course it is
