Abstract

International technical manuals and standards are commonly taught in engineering education as neutral and factual documents. This study aims to examine how such documents construct authority, obscure agency, and embed ideological assumptions, while also evaluating the effectiveness of a Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA)-based pedagogical module in developing students’ Critical Technical Literacy (CTL). A two-phase mixed-methods design was employed. In Phase 1, systematic CDA was conducted on seven technical documents consisting of four ISO/IEC standards and three corporate manuals from Siemens, Autodesk, and Rockwell Automation using Fairclough’s three-dimensional framework. In Phase 2, a 14-week instructional module was implemented with 87 fourth-year electrical engineering students across three semesters. Data were collected through a validated CTL pre-test and post-test, students’ final analytical assignments, and semi-structured focus group interviews. The CDA results showed that technical documents frequently used passive voice, nominalization, agent deletion, and dominant deontic modality, particularly the word “shall,” to construct authority and reduce visibility of human decision-making. The pedagogical intervention significantly improved students’ CTL scores from pre-test (M = 52.4, SD = 11.7) to post-test (M = 76.8, SD = 9.2), with a large effect size, t(86) = 14.26, p < .001, Cohen’s d = 1.53. The findings suggest that CDA can be integrated into engineering education to strengthen students’ ethical awareness, critical reading ability, and sociotechnical understanding of technical standards. This study contributes an interdisciplinary model that connects critical discourse studies with engineering education and positions CTL as a measurable learning outcome for preparing socially responsible engineers.

Abstract

This research addresses low competitiveness in the halal culinary creative industry caused by weak quality management implementation and a lack of business innovation, making improved product quality and managerial efficiency urgent for survival amid global competition. The purpose is to develop a contextual total quality management model based on local conditions to enhance enterprise competitiveness in the creative industry. The method employed a quantitative approach using Structural Equation Modeling – Partial Least Squares, with 100 halal culinary business owners selected purposively. The questionnaire was based on seven Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award criteria: leadership, strategic planning, customer focus, human resource focus, process management, business results, and competitiveness. Data was collected through surveys and interviews, and analyzed using SmartPLS 4.0. Findings reveal that customer focus, business results, and process management significantly influence competitiveness with probability values below 0.05, indicating that enhanced customer orientation, business effectiveness, and process management strengthen competitiveness. The conclusion is that this research produces a contextual total quality management model, enriching quality management literature based on the Indonesian local context. Practically, this model provides actionable guidance for business owners to prioritize customer orientation, optimize operational processes, and measure performance systematically to improve their competitive position in the market.
