Oops...i thought the $ is more than 7 L.E....that's the Euro...my mistake
i think Safwat is right then...$500 would be almost the net estimate
you should know more about the working environment from someone working there for sure...so see your friends contacts...Mentor got lots of engineers...there are some already here on edaboard
try www.linkedin.com for professional networking 
Rabena ma3ak,
Salma

| Thanks Salma, I was wondering whether this estimate is the best in market, also is it conventional to tell the gross or net salary? What is the reduction percentage from gross to net? I am sorry for these overwhelming questions.

Well, I don't have much details cause I haven't worked in Egypt. So my info is somehow limited  But as far as I know, it's a good starting salary for a fresher. In the offer, they'd tell you both salaries...the gross then the net after the taxes...I believe taxes are 15% or 20%...something in that range...if I'm mistaken then someone correct me please
The conventional in life really depends on the situation, so it's more likely to say: (.$.) Gross or (.$.) Net (there's a word attached at the end)
and of course in the posted offers it's the gross... but when you actually take the net...you tend to feel "poor" and pity yourself for the taxes taken...so you certainly say directly the net 
good luck,
salma

This was reported in EEtimes ) ; i wonder why !!!! 
> ---------------------------------------------------
The survey also found that electronics engineering remains one of the
most male-dominant professions in the world. This year's respondent
pool in North America included only 90 women, or 5.7 percent of the
total. In Europe, the share was even lower, at 3.1 percent, and in
Japan the question was not even asked.
Women today in all types of engineering make up 14 percent of the
total, with most in chemical engineering. In comparison, more than 17
percent of partners in law firms are women, and, according to The
Boston Globe, more than half of all medical students and 42 percent of
hospital interns are women. Among the handful of occupations that
underperform engineering in the percentage of female practitioners is
truck driving, at 5 percent.

cause sometimes we're too afraid to join engineering colleges...
tough studies...why bother and even start in them..!!!
we may end up sitting at home, feeding the kids, cooking, cleaning and washing the dishes...so getting a tough education -engineering or whatever- won't be of any valuable use in the future...especially for those who intend to stay at home after all
also...being in the engineering field doesn't make girls feel they're girls...!!! and it's partly true...unfortunately!

actually, i have no idea about such programs taking place
but the title of the course is very interesting and quite focused...so this is good
aren't there any details about the contents anywhere else...? maybe it's better that you go and ask in person...or someone would share them here
good luck

the contents of program 1 (module 1) is very good
the lectures and the labs go together at least
but then again...you can do all these FPGA stuff on your own...just self studying and working with the free available tools
for program 1 (module 2), i don't really see the link between analog design (lectures) and then pcb (labs)...pcb should be a direction on its own...you'll just take a bit of everything this way, which isn't good...i thought they'd make you use analog layout tools in the labs, for instance...or just maybe analog or RF simulators at least...
for the contents of program 2 (module 1), of course you'll have the honor to use Cadence, so that's an asset...and you can work as a layout engineer just with that
for program 2 (module 2), there's too much on C programming and i assume that you took that already in college and have a background on it at least...you can do it self studying better...this whole module is for system level design actually...
well, you have to make up your mind about what you want to work in at the end
do you want to take something to find work with it and full stop
or you want to know in different areas so you'll take the modules that you know least about...?!
if i were you, i would have taken module 1 from both programs
but that's just my choice
i don't think it can be done !

Salam,
I work for a US company that does digital design. I am interested in seeding a small comany to do verification of digital IP.
What is the best way to find soemone who is willing to start a company, hire a couple of enginers and start on a prject. All tools and equipment will be provided.
How is the level of expertise in Egypt in digital design verification, mainly using verilog and system verilog. It will require a lead with verification experience.
