. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 Preparing Ethical Leaders in Engineering Research and Practice: Designing an Ethical Leadership ModuleAbstractRecent occurrences of high-profile ethical scandals in industry and the academy attest to the needfor strong leadership in upholding ethical standards and cultures in business and academicorganizations. Many engineering graduate students become leaders of research groups orindustry projects after finishing their education. While many institutions train their graduatestudents in research and professional ethics, such training tends to focus on students’ individualconduct. To date, few programs have explicitly sought to improve graduate engineering

The walk-in setup, as opposed to outpatientappointment scheduling, gives multiple challenging potentials to develop what-if scenarios forstudents to further develop their simulation project even after their targeted lab assignment. Thegoal is to inspire students’ creativity and engage them in their learning experience. By providinguser friendly tools that support changing the model, students learn to deal with changing andexploiting scenarios in the case.We use a simple conceptual model with a few nurses, doctors, and staff to represent the clinic.Simplicity and real-world familiarity of this concept provides students with a jumpstart to takeownership of their simulation study. Soon, students realize the complexity of this case
