Navigation Lamp Model on Maritime Vocational Education Integrated With STEM Approach: Analysis and Design

Abstract The application of knowledge to practical in engineering maritime of vocational education for professional practice. Engineer faced the problems are intimately tied up with design. The aim of this research is develop navigation lamp model on the ship with STEM approach by engineer cadets. The research method was used analysis study and design for cadets applied in practice before on shipboard. Navigation lamp model built consist of anchor light, masthead light, towing light, and side light. Analysis of navigation light base on rules of COLREGs about light and shapes. Navigation lamp built as miniature model with source of energy from solar cell 50 WP and the electric usage controller added for charge and load of the lamp. Both charge and load are measured with digital volt/ampere meter. We obtained for the conclusion that engineering cadets understand of rules of COLOREGs about light and shapes which can built from miniature models with PV solar cell as source energy.
