The first of its kind campus-based automated weather station has been launched at the Tshwane University of Technology , reportsThe accredited, world-class meteorological weather station is the first of its kind to be based at a university campus in the country. It was launched in partnership with the South African Weather Service and TUT’s Pretoria campus.
“We need to design relevant curriculum programmes, and our aim is to go into research, create programmes at master and doctorate levels. Also to observe sustainable development goals, which [are] energy, water, and climatology. We want to be relevant in what we are doing and equip our students to be relevant when they leave the university, to be employable immediately, for instance, to be employed at the South African weather service,” said Van Staden.
