NIBONG TEBAL, 18 August 2023 – The School of Aerospace Engineering (PPK Aero) recently hosted an Artificial Intelligence Study Program that is timely aligned with Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM)’s mission in fostering Academic Excellence, Global Engagement and Cultural Diversity.

The collaboration program with Foshan University, China is hoped to be an engaging platform for 39 undergraduate students involved in gaining not only the knowledge, but also the uniqueness of cultural diversity that we have in Malaysia, affirmed the Dean of PPK Aero, Professor Dr. Farzad Ismail during his speech.

“As part of the internalization engagement, we offer various advantages to the participants of the program mainly in demonstrating our working techniques directly from our professionals in the related areas of expertise,” mentioned Farzad.

Meanwhile, the Coordinator of the program, Dr. Ho Hann Woei explained that this study program is tailored for the international students as an excellent platform not only for PPK Aero to share expertise but also to attract talented students globally.
