This article proposes the implementation of CDIO (Conceive, Design, Implement and Operate) in the curricular redesign of the career of Mechanical Engineering. It presents a binding scheme of shared learning between the industry and academia to obtain graduate competencies, as a basis for curricular redesign. A new educational model is designed which allows the transition from know what to know how; interlacing the disciplines that intervene with skills and abilities to solve projects focused on local and national realities. It was defined that of the CDIO, standards 2, 3, 5 and 7 apply. This generates a student-centered curriculum with complementary disciplines, interlaced with inter and intra-personal skills, product manufacturing, processes and systems. This proposal considers specific knowledge, skills, values and attitudes that must be applied in the integral formation of Mechanical Engineers, in order to respond to the socio-productive needs of the country. Finally, the curricular redesign determines the areas of professional academic impact in Design, Energy, Materials and Production Management, taking into account the graduate competences and in a complementary way the learning results of the subjects of the career.

Indonesia's human development index is still low among ASEAN countries. This losing quality of human resources results in decisions taken often not in favor of the interests of the nation. The low quality of human resources has resulted in one of the national development agendas as stipulated in the National Medium Term Development Plan IV (RPJMN-IV) currently putting strong pressure on improving human resources. The independent campus policy is designed to reinforce the position of tertiary institutions as a center for superior Indonesian human resources, and at the same time challenge tertiary institutions to continue of building a sustainable education system which is directly related to economic, social, and environmental aspects, as well as 21st century life and work skills demanded.

The students’ engagement was deemed significant to research due to the changing study structures from course-based to student-centered and competence-based in sustainable science higher education. Still, its change and coping strategies is considered as somewhat unfamiliar learning environment. Research examined students’ engagement to the learning approach of a flipped-classroom model for sustainable science course with the Revised Two-Factor Study Process Questionnaire (R-SPQ-2F). It assesses research proposals, which students are utilizing to learning, and engagement and individual abilities as well. The research was conducted with the students enrolled in the “Atmospheric Pollution” course of the Environmental Science undergraduate program (n=64). The results obtained through the R-SPQ-2F showed the students’ number reaching higher “deep approach” in their learning increased at the course end, while it can be observed that the students’ number marking “surface approach” below the mean value was slightly lower (pre- and post-test comparison). It can be concluded that students are employing more engagement in their works and enhancing their personal skills as well with the teaching methodology. Results obviously specified that the study structure change was a phase into correct emphasis to improve students’ engagement in the flipped sustainable science education.

International financial institutions (IFIs) typically condition the provision of loans, grants, and debt relief on the implementation, by the recipient country, of policy reforms that are aimed at making the fiscal and debt situation sustainable, improving competitiveness, and boosting economic growth. These so-called ‘conditionalities’ afford IFIs substantial policy influence on governments throughout the world, thereby reducing national policy space and undermining national development agendas. The measures also have implications for the enjoyment of human rights. This chapter provides an overview of these policies, as well as their impact on the ability of the implementing governments to provide basic public services necessary for the realisation of human rights, including health, labour, and civil and political rights. The chapter begins with an examination of the mandates of the IMF and World Bank. It then discusses the lending practices of the two institutions and reviews existing debates around the effects of conditionalities on human rights. Finally, the chapter offers suggestions for reform of IMF and World Bank lending practices in ways that ensure that they respect human rights.

Production Losses

This paper lays the theoretical foundations for the characterisation the course of processes in production engineering by means of computer tools, with the focus on the essence and benefits resulting from the use the programmes in question. The main objective of this study is to employ a selected computer tool for modelling, analysing and simulating a selected product manufacturing process to identify areas in the process that require improvement. The work involved the Tecnomatix Plant Simulation programme, in which the existing production process was modelled. The created model was used to simulate the runtime of the production lot, identify bottlenecks and analyse production losses, such as: waiting, stocks, and unnecessary transport. The conducted analysis has produced an outcome in the form of methods for eliminating identified production losses and modifying the model. The simulations were subsequently carried out on a modified model, which allowed determining the level of improvement of the assumed indicators, e.g. order completion time, set-up time, waiting time, stocks. The selected tool served not only as a means to visualising the course of the manufacturing process but also enabled us to optimise and improve it. The article presents the possibilities of using simulation programmes to identify and eliminate waste in production processes. In addition, the conclusions show not only the results of the simulations but also the most important benefits resulting from the use of this type of tools in production engineering, in particular in lean production management.
