Introduction
  

 

This is not a soft skills seminar !!!! This is my point of view !!! We will talk about the different fields in the Electric Engineering market (with emphasis in Embedded and Electronics) and the basic requirements for each introducing examples from each field. Dont think that there are no jobs. There are many jobs but you need to be prepared well.

Communication Field
Three broad categories:  Mobile  Fixed Lines  Satellite (Nilesat) http://www.nilesat.com.eg

Master Degree system - Egypt

 

Alexandria University Cairo University

Master Degree abroad



I will talk about Europe because: The known is US and Canada The low fees in some countries in Europe

1. 2.

Master Degree abroad cont.

 

 

 

The procedures: Searching: Ranking, Previous experience, fees, English programs TOEFL: 80-100 in iBT (less than US and UK) GRE: Most universities in Europe dont require GRE in Master Reference letters (2 or 3) Admission: Be careful about the admission period and be prepared By TOEFL and reference letters.

Master Degree abroad cont.

Training before Graduation

 

For Embedded: IEEE courses Science club For communication: Training in Telecom Egypt, Vodafone and Mobinil For Networks: Courses in New Horizons and Synergy For electronics: MIT: http://ocw.mit.edu/ Berkeley: http://webcast.berkeley.edu/courses.php

 

Training After Graduation



For Embedded, Electronics, Programming, Networks

Information Technology Institute (really it deserve 9 months) http://www.iti.gov.eg/

         

Software Engineering (Alex): SD, UNIX, Java Technologies for E-Business GIS Computer Networks Multimedia VLSI Mechatronics Media Convergence (New) Information Security (New) Embedded Systems (New)

Training After Graduation cont.



For Communication and Networks

MCIT (9 months and 3 weeks) http://www.mcit.gov.eg/ptrain/  National Telecommunication Institute (NTI) http://www.nti.sci.eg/  Vodafone academy (9 months)

How to search jobs

   

 

Direct contact Al-ahram newspaper Forums and groups http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/EgyptDevelopers/ Vlsi Egypt (yahoo group) Job Fairs

Grade and Graduation project



Is the grade important? For Master Most companies the Grade is included in their evaluation like communication companies and some electronics companies like mentor. There are some companies that dont care about grade like embedded and network companies (Valeo) Is the graduation project important? It is very in increasing your chances to be accepted if it is in the same field you apply for.

 

Soft Skills


 

It is very important to have excellent soft skills to be accepted in the job you wish. Your technical knowledge alone doesnt pay. So you must make a good CV (there are templates in the word that are helpful) And you must be familiar with interview questions (Seminars, websites, others experience)
