EN Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a concept which reflects the ideas of trustworthiness and honesty in the operation of enterprises. It is multi-dimensional and is focused on the creation of new and innovative solutions for the sustainable development of business, which includes caring about employees, local communities and natural environment. The universities also implement the CSR concept by their accounting for market needs and improving the quality of engineers’ education preparing them for future professional work. The aim of the chapter is to present the CSR concept’s place and role in the process of educating the production engineers and logistics specialists. Moreover a simulation game is proposed, as a new CSR tool which can be used with regard to employee care. The methodology of research is based on the analysis of literature devoted to CSR and simulation games. The scope of problems and teaching methods encompassed by the subjects concerning the broadly understood quality management has been compared using the framework of Polish “National Qualification Standards”. The empirical results are discussed. The originality of the work results from the theoretical presentation of CSR concept and its place in the education of engineering cadres, and a practice-oriented application of simulation games as a CSR tool to the education process.
