relating to the development process in the Kingdom, particularly in industrial fields. Its objectives also include the propagation of scientific and technological awareness and the provision of technical advice and services of the highest standard for institutions in the public and private sectors. Through its activities, the Society is helping to promote development in all sectors and, during the short period of time since its establishment, it has made a significant number of achievements. It has also implemented numerous pilot projects, of which the following are only a few examples: (a) Design and production of a special microprocessor to train university and intermediate college students in the fundamental principles of microprocessing and computer operation and programming; (b) Design and production of a street lighting control system comprising sensors that measure the ambient light and automatically switch the street lamps on or off to ensure appropriate illumination under all circiamstances; (c) Design and development of a solar energy collector system for water heating purposes; (d) Study on the recycling of plastic waste for the manufacture of plastic covers for protected crop cultivation; (e) Design and manufacture of a special refrigeration unit for the Wet-Cell Battery Testing Laboratory; (f) Design and programming of a data base on the Kingdom's scientific and technological capabilities, as part of the national information system; (g) National project for the monitoring of water pollution in the River Jordan; (h) Study on the safe handling of hazardous chemical substances. This project included a comprehensive survey of all the hazardous chemical substances to be found in Jordanian markets, a description of their chemical, physical and toxic properties and a definition of procedures to be observed during their transport and storage and of the measures to be taken to avoid and, if necessary, overcome the hazards that they involve. This study led to
