<![CDATA[One of the implementations of project-based learning for electronics courses at the Indonesian State Maritime Polytechnic campus is carried out by making ship steering equipment based on one of the learning outcomes in electronics courses for the Engineering department, namely mastering the basics of electricity, electronics, hydraulics, and pneumatics related to ship control systems. Learning with this method can be applied online and offline, where the government’s budget efficiency is to reduce equipment and maintenance spending. Proteus software, which is open-source software that can be downloaded for free, is used to reduce the cost of purchasing electronic components. In addition, cadets do not need to buy components to minimize the cost of purchasing electronic components. Learning begins with the theory of ship steering simulation by demonstrating ship steering consisting of potentiometer components, Arduino, and connected to a computer via USB serial to view the data on the computer, followed by students practicing doing the project by starting by downloading and installing Proteus software, downloading and installing Arduino IDE software then continuing to create a potentiometer circuit, Arduino and serial monitor using Proteus software. In doing this project, students must learn independently by looking for guides and literature that can be searched on the internet or YouTube. This ship steering simulation model or prop is the result of DAPTV research, which explains ship steering simulation to students in the Engineering department in electronics courses at a low cost.]]>
