Desain Bahan Ajar Pendidikan Kewarganegaraan Berbasis Pendidikan Anti Korupsi di Perguruan Tinggi

Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi pembelajaran mata kuliah Pendidikan Kewarganegaran di berbagai perguruan tinggi di Indonesia hanya bersifat hapalan. Tidak ada nilai-nilai dan pelajaran yang bisa diambil dan dirasakan ketika mengikuti perkuliahan ini. Mata kuliah Pendidikan Kewarganegaraan dijadikan sebagai mata kuliah “role model” untuk permasalahan-permasalahan bangsa dan negara, seperti permasalahan pendidikan anti korupsi. penelitian ini menggunakan Pendekatan Penelitian Desain. Teknik pengumpulan data dan informasi dilakukan melalui observasi, studi dokumentasi dan triangulasi. Penelitian ini menghasilkan materi Ajar Pendidikan yang tidak hanya menitikberatkan kepada pengetahuan semata, melainkan juga membekali mahasiswa keterampilan-keterampilan seperti menganalisis dan berfikir kritis sehingga akan membentuk keterampilan-keterampilan yang lain

A battery-less power supply using supercapacitor as energy storage powered by solar

This paper presents a battery-less power supply using supercapacitor as energy storage powered by solar. In this study the supercapacitor as energy storage, as opposed to batteries, has widely researched in recent years. Supercapacitors act like other capacitors, but their advantage is having enormous power storage capabilities. Maximum charging voltage and capacitance are two variables of storage in the supercapacitor. The supercapacitor is used as energy storage to charge a low power device wirelessly and act as a power supply. The solar energy is used as a backup power supply if there is no electricity in the remote or isolated area to charge the supercapacitor. The time taken to charge the supercapacitor depend on the amount of current rating of the solar panel. The higher the current, the shorter the time taken to charges the supercapacitor. Power supply using supercapacitor can store up to 30 Vdc using a DC-DC boost converter
