laboratoryrequires industry insight and expertise to ensure that applications, technologies, configurations,and use cases align with standards and industry trajectory.Purdue University and Endress+Hauser USA have a well-established history of partnering toincrease awareness of the process sector and deliver improved learning experiences capable ofpresenting real-world challenges in the classroom and laboratory [3]. The first collaboration wasin 2014 with a capstone project, the Purdue Integrated Process Education System (PIPES). Thefully operational system was designed and constructed during a yearlong capstone projectundertaken by senior students in Purdue’s Manufacturing Engineering Technology degreeprogram, later serving as a teaching and learning tool

student receives a benchequipped with a software-loaded laptop, necessary mechanical measuring tools, cutting tools,hammers, ratchets, soldering tools, wring tools, and a clip-on meter. Students use the same benchfor two semesters, learning workshop etiquette. The facility also houses trainers for acceleratedlearning in house wiring, PLC, and industrial controller wiring. Students should have access to amachining shop and a regular electronics laboratory. Fig. 4 illustrates the DSSA facility at PNW. Fig. 4. DSSA facility and trainers at PNW.

certification. Upon successful completion of the courses,eligible students receive “Material HandlingPro” and “iRVision-2D” FANUC industrialcertificates. The Certificate “Industrial Robotics” is designed to develop skills and competenciesin operating, programming, troubleshooting FANUC industrial robots, configuring and setting uprobotic vision systems commonly used to enhance industrial processes. The curriculum containssignificant laboratory component operating industrial-scale FANUC robots and learning industrystandards of Roboguide simulation software. The proposed “Industrial Robotics” Graduatecertificate will attract students from various departments at Michigan Tech and will make themmore marketable in very demanding job market nowadays.Below

of the robotic platform. The initial configurationand installation being handled by the EET students made it possible for future students to utilizethe robot for learning to operate the robot and incorporate skills from other disciplines toaccomplish the 3D welding process. Projects in the future can be aimed at accomplishing thetasks laid out in the Progress and Preparation for Future Students sections.SafetyAs safety is of the utmost importance, the number one priority was to design the work cell to beas safe as possible. The Department of Health and Safety (D.H.S.) on campus was contacted totour the lab and verify the safety of the work cell and laboratory layout. Currently there are onlygeneral lab safety training courses available and

work is to design a robotic training kit that would help teach students aboutcertain topics relating to the field of robotics. The topics covered include computerprogramming, serial communication, HMI development, and AI technology. To complete thistask, we developed the lab kit, develop programs to test the functionality of the components, andcreated a handbook to guide users through developing their own experiments.The remainder of this paper is structured as follows. First, related works corresponding tocollaborative robotics implementation and AI in robotics are briefly described. Then, a generaloverview of the project proposed is introduced, including the hardware and software portions.Later, the hardware architecture is presented and

inextensive hands-on learning in numerous shoreside laboratories, but much of the experientiallearning required to develop students into competent officers in a ship’s engine department iscompleted on the Training Ship State of Maine (TSSOM), shown in Fig. 1 on the next page.Various ships have supported student learning at MMA since the beginning: the currentTSSOM is a former U.S. Naval Ship, now owned by the US Maritime Administration andoperated by MMA since 1997. It is approximately 500 feet long, displaces over 16,000 tons,and is propelled by an 8,000-horsepower diesel engine [3].Students in the MET program are required to cruise on the ship in the summers after theirfreshman and junior years.

is commonality and interestsin both realms. Faculty dedication has been a critical asset in adopting such continuingenhancements.Engineering programs at this university campus emphasize more hands-on experience than atypical undergraduate college, since most of our computer and electrical engineering studentsseek entry-level employment upon graduation. Most theory courses are augmented with separatetwo- to three-hour laboratory courses, taught by the same teaching faculty. This hands-onexperience is stressed more during the two-semester capstone project courses, offered in thesenior year of studies. Throughout the second semester of capstone projects, graduating seniorsexperience several aspects of working on team projects in large
