MSA University Launches Climate Simulators Workshop to Advance Sustainability in Academic Training

October University for Modern Sciences and Arts (MSA) launched a new series of academic and training workshops with a specialized session titled Climate Simulators. The workshop was organized and presented by Dr. Sarah Noaman, Assistant Professor of Interior Architecture under the supervision of Professor Dr. Doaa Salman, Deputy director of the Quality Assurance and Accreditation Center. It marked the beginning of a broader initiative to integrate sustainability-focused practices into academic training.

The workshop introduced academic staff, students, and researchers to the importance of climate simulation tools as a powerful driver of sustainability. Discussions focused on analyzing environmental and climatic conditions affecting the built environment, raising awareness of the relationship between climate change and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and enhancing students’ ability to integrate advanced technology into their academic and research projects.

Dr. Sarah Noaman delivered an interactive presentation covering the mechanisms and functions of climate simulation software, an introduction to global temperature trends and their impact on human wellbeing, and challenges and scenarios related to climate change. Participants engaged in hands-on activities, experimenting with simulation tools to better understand their role in climate and environmental preservation.

The event underscored MSA University’s commitment to equipping academic staff and students with cutting-edge skills while connecting them to global practices in sustainable design. It represented the first step in a broader initiative to strengthen the quality of the educational process, support accreditation standards, and prepare the university community to address future environmental and professional challenges.
