Traditionally, the Accrediting Board for Engineering and Technology(ABET) only accredited engineering programs, and therefore construction management programs were accreditedby other accreditation institutions such as the American Council for Construction Education (ACCE). However, toacknowledge the close relationship between CM and engineering; ABET started accrediting ConstructionManagement programs in 2014 [12]. Accreditation of CM programs by an Engineering Accreditation institute is afurther testament to the blurred line between CONE and CM programs. While ABET

For example, inthe Medical Device Development Modules, students learnt relevant skills such as 3D printing,finite element analysis (FEA), computer aided design (CAD) to prototype, evaluate, and iteratebone plates or a similar open-ended design project with constraints. Similarly, in the TissueEngineering Modules, students developed laboratory skills such as cell culture, quantitativeassays, and imaging through engineering hydrogels for cellular scaffolding.2.2. Data Collection and AnalysisFollowing the conclusion of the BME-In-Practice series, we collected survey data from learnerswho participated in the modules.

During the laboratory activities,students learned to program deep learning using Google Colaboaratory which is a programmingtool that enables the building and training of deep learning projects [6]. Users can use differenthardware accelerators, such as Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) or Tensor Processing Unit (TPU),so students could get high-speed results without expensive computers [1].

This ensured anonymity and provided an environmentfor students to participate regardless of their programming knowledge, skill, or any otherbackground. The new platform makes it plausible to extend the system by supporting moregames as part of course laboratories. Nevertheless, this platform is not limited to introductorycourses. It can be extended to advance programming courses as well. For instance, an advancedmachine learning-related course may find the platform useful in allowing students to improvetheir coding and machine learning skills by introducing a game/agent strategy laboratory.Future WorkThe feedback from the

In-person recruiting events were planned in the service areas ofeach of the community colleges and in a 10-county region surrounding the university. Theoriginal plan for programming was to offer special events and speakers on each campusthroughout the academic year so that all of the scholars could meet each other and learn moreabout the engineering profession.
