Brown et al. (2005)defines EL as “the demonstration of normatively appropriate conduct through personal actionsand interpersonal relationships, and the promotion of such conduct to followers through two-waycommunication, reinforcement, and decision-making.” This definition encompasses four aspects;namely, an ethical leader 1) models ethical behaviors; 2) gives voices to others in theorganization; 3) creates a

For example, sustainability in the economical scope can bedefined as the ability to maintain and increase the national Gross Domestic Products (GDP) orthe total amount of annual production produced within the borders of the country [1].

This framework describes knowledgeintegration as the process of linking, organizing, and structuring students’ ideas, views, andtheories to form a specific concept. With this framework, Linn [2] proposed the knowledgeintegration environment (KIE) principles and guidelines on how to design learning activities,which are:  Make content accessible – use personally-relevant problems and connect new and existing knowledge.  Make thinking visible – provide visual representations  Help students learn from each other – design social activities to

Particularly in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)fields, traditional lecturing has indicated a 55% increase in failure rates of undergraduate students,compared to active learning methods [1]. Furthermore, active learning has proven to significantlyenhance students’ examination performance and educational achievements compared to passivelearning [1, 2]. In Biomedical Engineering (BME), active learning can be incorporated throughvarious techniques such as problem- and project-based learning [3]. Such approaches lead studentsto a deeper and more efficient retention of new concepts. Moreover, these methods

Traditional learning techniques such as usingregular lecturing or presentations do not engage the students that often in the learning process.Innovative approaches to lecture a topic in class can include many forms of teaching andinstructions such as demonstrations of experiments [1], students’ participation in a survey ormultiple choice answers using rubbing answer sheets or clickers, group discussion, and othermicro-insertion approaches [2].According to Weimer [3], PBL starts with problem introduction and students are asked to solvethese problems while learning the concepts in parallel with

As the decay of a skill depends greatly on thedegree to which the skill was learned, the higher the acquisition environment (e.g., immersivetraining), the longer the retention [2].

As the technologies in industry are rapidlychanging, providing suitable training programs are of utmost importance.

But engineering graduate students rarelytalk to their advisor about the writing process and many have not taken a writing intensive coursewithin the last two years [3].

to many engineering education discussions, talks, andpublications, e.g., [1-6]. With both individual and meta-studies exhibiting benefits of activelearning for many learners, the interest appears warranted. Despite the evidence, active learninghas not been universally adopted in engineering courses with full-class lectures and statictextbooks still common. If a professor doing disciplinary engineering research does not adapt tonew research in their field, they are left behind. However, if the same professor adopts the samelecture and textbook for decades, little incentive to modernize the classroom is offered at many,research-focused universities. Here, the focus will be innovation at the cross section of activelearning and
