concentrations later.FANUC America, as one of the largest companies producing automation products and systems,produces FANUC industrial robots, which are widely used in the fields. The main goal of theselabs is to prepare MET/MCET students to take robotics concentration courses at PurdueUniversity Northwest and to work in automation/robotics fields in the future.All the labs will be performed with FANUC LR Mate 200iD educational robot. It has six axes:base, shoulder, elbow, rotation of the arm, pitch of the wrist, and rotation of the hand plate. Thefirst lab will be a safety lab, which includes rules and guidelines that students need to follow orbe aware of during lab sessions. The educational robots are mainly designed for trainingpurposes.

in participating in the GC2017, the agendaof the event was refashioned to increase the engagement and leverage the expertise of thosepresent. While searching for international exposure as a common target for all the participants,due to the final layout of the event it was possible to summarize the issues of interest to them.The issues were collapsed eventually into four main interest domains, namely: Adapting to NewDigital Students; Competency-based Engineering Education; Games for Learning; andMathematics in the Engineering Curriculum.The GC2017 was deemed successful by the participants however several questions arise aboutthe ASEE community perception of the event importance as an internationalization tool for theUS universities.
