Within the framework of effective interaction between students and the labor market, and under the guidance of Professor Munir Musaedeh, Dean of the College of Computer and Information Technology, the Department of Computer Science at Jordan University of Science and Technology organized a fruitful scientific visit to the Arabia Weather Company in Amman. This activity comes within a series of initiatives that the college aims to encourage students to explore their specializations and understand the requirements of the labor market in the fields of advanced information technology.

The visit was supervised by Dr. Malak Abdullah, Head of the Computer Science Department, and included introductory activities on how to analyze weather data and forecast weather conditions. As part of the visit, engineer Yazan Shank, responsible for the company’s artificial intelligence and machine learning department, presented a joint workshop with the students that lasted for two hours, covering aspects of data collection and analysis, in addition to programming the system based on artificial intelligence for weather forecasts.
