This initiative aims to prepare effective global engineers by uniting educators, researchers, and industry leaders in multi-disciplinary labs. By pooling resources across various engineering departments, we enhance lab activities while minimizing overhead. We engage with the escalating fields of medical robotics, emphasizing crucial areas like surgical robotics and rehabilitation. Our mission is to inspire students to become global engineers who can excel in diverse environments and tackle universally relevant issues. Join us in fostering innovation and global responsibility through creative engineering.

“We know the countries that out-teach us today willout-compete us tomorrow.” • President Obama Educate. Innovate.
STAKEHOLDERS - STUDENTS • Global engineers • Engineers who are well informed about problems in multiple contexts, • Can operate with engineers and situations different from those in their immediate surroundings • Can apply their individual, localized training to universally relevant issues. • These globally minded students can often feel out of place within scientifically strict and theoretically dense curricula. • Despite stereotypes, engineers who enjoy communication and networking, ethics and social issues do exist. • THAT’S ME …. I have found my home !!!!
