Pendidikan pada usia dini menjadi sebuah fenomena menarik pada saat ini di Indonesia,dapat dilihat dari menjamurnya taman pendidikan untuk anak yang belum  bisa masuk sekolah. Provinsi Kepulauan Riau (Kepri) yang lokasinya berbatasan langsung dengan Gerbang Internasional Singapura dan Malaysia secara tidak langsung diminta untuk mampu berkompetisi secara secara softskill dan hardskill. Untuk menghadapi kesempatan tersebut dan menciptakan generasi yang mampu bersaing secara global, jurusan Teknik Elektro Universitas Maritim Raja Ali Haji (UMRAH) melalui tridharma perguruan tinggi, bekerjasama dengan bagian Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Banyan Tree Hotel and Resorts Bintan, menghasilkan sebuah program bernama Edutech for Children (EfC). EfC adalah program untuk meningkatkan kemampuan siswa berpikir secara kritis dan analisis pada usia dini melalui pengenalan proses perancangan rekayasa dan pelatihan pola pikir insinyur untuk siswa di sekolah. Dimulai dari proses etnografi, brainstorming, menentukan permasalahan dan solusi utama dan merancang menggunakan perangkat lunak 3 dimensi Autodesk inventor. Sebuah inovasi yang merupakan luaran dari proses desain rekayasa adalah merupakan hasil dari proses rancangan yang berbasiskan kepada pengguna dengan menggunakan pendekatan etnografi, oleh sebab itu melalui pelatihan yang diberikan siswa akan diajak untuk mampu memahami bahwa sebuah inovasi tersebut membutuhkan integrasi kemampuan berpikir secara luas terhadap permasalahan yang ada di masyarakat. Dengan kegiatan ini didapatkan hasil memuaskan yang dibuktikan dengan meningkatnya kemampuan teknis dan munculnya pola pikir inovatif sehingga siswa mampu untuk menemukan dan merancang teknologi yang sesuai untuk kebutuhan setempat.

Riau Islands Province (Riau Islands) whose location is directly adjacent to the International Gates of Singapore and Malaysia is indirectly requested to be able to compete in soft skills and hard skills. To face this opportunity and create a generation that is able to compete globally, the Department of Electrical Engineering, Raja Ali Haji Maritime University (UMRAH) through the three-tridharma of higher education, in collaboration with the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) section of the Banyan Tree Hotel and Resorts Bintan, produced a program called Edutech for Children (EfC). EfC is a program to improve students 'ability to think critically and analyze at an early age through the introduction of the engineering design process and training of engineers' mindsets for students in schools. Starting from the ethnographic process, brainstorming, determining the main problems and solutions and designing using Autodesk Inventor's 3-dimensional software. An innovation which is an outcome of the engineering design process is the result of a design process based on the user using an ethnographic approach, therefore through training provided students will be invited to be able to understand that an innovation requires the integration of broad thinking skills towards problems exist in the community. With this activity, satisfying results are evidenced by increasing technical ability and the emergence of innovative mindsets so that students are able to find and design technologies that are suitable for local needs.

This qualitative study’s purpose was to evaluate how undergraduate business students’ perspectives, skills, and behaviors evolved through corporate social responsibility (CSR) education taught with a focus on critical thinking and sustainable problem solving. Business schools are struggling to incorporate CSR into their curriculum despite interest from students and pressure from accreditation agencies. This article primarily contributes practical tools for business schools teaching students to apply critical thinking skills and concepts gained through their business education to develop solutions to economic, social, and environmental problems. Instructors taught the following topics: definitions of CSR, the triple bottom line, stakeholder theory, exposure to social problems, businesses’ roles in exacerbating or mitigating social problems, specific sustainable solutions companies and nonprofit organizations have implemented, and analysis of public companies’ sustainability reports. Topics were taught using critical thinking tools, such as a decision-making model, a funneling exercise, a root problems activity, and reflection and metareflection. The instruction followed a specific teaching model to promote critical thinking skills development, which can be implemented by other faculty. We found CSR concepts motivated students by giving them the tools and confidence in their abilities to solve meaningful problems and learning outcomes for both CSR and critical thinking were achieved.

AbstractOrganizations seeking to improve their performance, like Corporate Social Responsibility targets, face a key organisational design challenge. Designing the key components of the organization and their layout will have major impact on performances, and needs thus a robust design process. Organisation theory provides several models and methods to answer that need. Yet this design process has not been confronted to design methods literature, such as systematic design. The aim of this paper is to provide a synthesis of multiple theoretical elements coming from organization sciences, confronted with a classical engineering design model, to reveal similarities, differences and lacks of current literature on organization design. Our analysis of the available literature on organisation theory, organisation design and change management showed that this design process is close to systematic design, but we also highlighted several breaks in the design process, such as the lack of functional approach.

AbstractSustainability is a key issue for manufacturing companies, which detail in their annual corporate social responsibility (CSR) reports how they plan to operationalise the seventeen sustainable development goals set by the United Nations in 2016. Design is deemed particularly relevant to integrate sustainability issues, and many design for sustainability (DFS) approaches have developed since the 1980s. However, the lack of understanding of the relationship between CSR and design prevents DFS approaches from enabling sustainability issues to be integrated in the design process in a relevant manner with the CSR strategy of a company. Consequently, we developed a mapping methodology in order to provide a better understanding of the CSR-design relationship. This mapping methodology consists in (1) identifying the relevant CSR goals that can be managed during the design process, (2) gathering information about the links between these CSR goals and the design process through semi-structured interviews, and (3) building a map representing these links. We started to apply our mapping methodology in an application case in the automotive industry. The first results of this application are presented in this article.
