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

Embedded and Electronics Field

Advantages: This is an industry that develop our country. To work yon need to be qualified only !!! This market is increased nowadays. The salaries become higher than past.

Disadvantages: Work load and tension compared to other fields with the same salary. You need more than the usual undergraduate study. The market is in Cairo till now. (Some companies are in their way to come to Alex).

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.

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. 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)
