UMS-ALIEN (UMS Active Learning in Engineering Education) is an innovative framework developed by Universiti Malaysia Sabah to transform engineering education through active and blended learning approaches. It structures the learning process into ten progressive levels, starting from basic active learning techniques and advancing to blended, cooperative problem-based learning. This hierarchy guides educators in creating student-centered learning environments that foster critical thinking, problem-solving, collaboration, and adaptability. UMS-ALIEN incorporates digital tools and online components, making learning more flexible and engaging. By equipping students with essential skills and knowledge, UMS-ALIEN aims to produce future-ready graduates prepared to tackle real-world engineering challenges.
