Undergraduatestudents in civil, industrial, mechanical, petroleum, and computer engineering from threeinstitutions were selected to participate in research projects in UTP, Malaysia, related to variousaspects of the usage of machine earning and artificial intelligence.Three distinct objectives were set for this collaborative IRES project:− strengthen the interest and research abilities of undergraduates from underprivileged population groups who might not otherwise have access to a global opportunity for professional development;− prepare students with professional skills to enter a diverse and global workforce in the energy and related infrastructure industry; and− promote
