Abstract

In such a massive “politicization” of social and cultural life, it appears that the role of Technological Higher Education Institution (Lembaga Pendidikan Tinggi Teknologi/LPTT) in national development is diminishing and less significant with the decline of the role of technology at the national level. The future challenge of LPTT is to increase the role of technology. This LPTT revitalization is highly possible due to the central role of technology in social and cultural life, so that LPTT is not focused only on technology but should also become the Cultural Development Center. The method used in this research is a qualitative method with a case study in Technological Higher Education Institution (LPTT). This method was used considering the demand for technology to immediately link with the society and culture that ultimately leads to quality human civilization. It is time for LPTT to apply transdisciplinary thinking. As a result, the development of the Sociotechnology discipline is proposed. The discipline is implemented in a higher education process and a new nomenclature is proposed for the study program, which is called Technoculture. The discipline and study program work by constructing the Design Thinking Work Method based on the Modeling and Computation Method. Design Thinking that is applied to Humanity, Technology, and Social Science based on the Modeling and Computation Method is part of Digital Humanities. This new approach, including the Learning Method, develops the human resource output from this discipline, and the study program produces human resources with the frame of thought on Applied Science Branch -Sub Social-Sub Sub Public Affairs that supports Social Welfare. This process leads to human resources as pioneers, motivators, innovators, and creators for achieving Social Justice in the nation.
