Abstract

Advancements in information technology have simplified various aspects of human life, including in the education sector. One important tool for monitoring the effectiveness of higher education is a tracer study information system, which allows educational institutions to gather data on alumni and their contributions to the workforce. Politeknik Pelayaran Sulawesi Utara (PPSU), as a higher education institution under the Ministry of Transportation, faces challenges in managing alumni data that are dispersed across various regions in Indonesia. Therefore, this study aims to design and develop an Android-based tracer study application to streamline the management of alumni data more efficiently and accurately. The research methodology employed is the waterfall model, which includes the stages of planning, analysis, design, implementation, and testing. The findings of this study indicate that the developed Android-based tracer study application can assist in managing alumni data more efficiently, allowing administrators to obtain real-time information from anywhere. This application also provides convenience for alumni to update their information while offering constructive feedback to improve the quality of education at PPSU. Based on the test results, the application is deemed feasible and effective for use in managing alumni data. This research is expected to serve as a reference for the development of similar systems at other higher education institutions and contribute to the improvement of higher education quality in Indonesia.

Abstract

Risks of transportation safety are still a common issue in Indonesia. Communities living in coastal and marine areas, the majority of whom work as fishermen, still rely on traditional knowledge and skills. Wawontulap Village is located in the Tatapaan District with a total of 80 active fishermen, most of whom use small-scale traditional fishing boats with 50 cc to 80 cc motor engines and without adequate navigation tools, thus impacting visibility for ship maneuvers. fisherman. The position and potential for catching larger fish at night is a challenge for the fishing community in Wawontulap Village. This is because at night many fishing or fishing boats with larger sizes also descend into the sea which can cause a collision hazard between ships. The problem of navigation tools in the form of navigation lights is deemed necessary to find a solution immediately. Navigation lights on board apart from functioning as navigation guides can also be used as lighting and communication tools in the form of light signals if fishermen need help at any time. the method of socialization and delivery of assistance in the form of 3 (three) navigation lights which were handed over symbolically to village officials (the old law). From this community service activity it shows that fishermen's knowledge of the importance of navigation lights becomes clear and the danger of ship collisions when fishermen go outside to catch fish can be avoided.

Abstract

Maritime English is essential for safe and effective communication in the global shipping industry, particularly in multilingual crew environments. Despite its significance, many cadets struggle to master technical maritime vocabulary due to traditional teaching approaches that prioritize grammar and general conversation. This study investigates the effectiveness of Project-Based Learning (PBL) in enhancing cadets’ mastery of maritime English technical vocabulary at Sorong Merchant Marine Polytechnic. Using a pre-test and post-test design, 20 cadets participated in simulation-based projects involving navigation planning, safety procedures, and maritime reporting. The results revealed a significant improvement in vocabulary acquisition, with average scores rising from 50.2% in the pre-test to 78.0% in the post-test. Statistical analysis using a paired-sample t-test confirmed the significance of this increase (p < 0.05). The findings suggest that PBL not only improves technical vocabulary comprehension but also supports the development of practical communication skills, critical thinking, and teamwork key competencies in maritime professions. This study recommends the integration of PBL into Maritime English curricula to better prepare cadets for real-world operational demands.
