I graduated from the University of Sharjah with a bachelor's degree in electrical and electronics engineering, and currently, I'm pursuing my master's in the same field. The program ensures the balance between theoretical and practical work as well as motivates the students to do research by supporting them academically and financially. The professors at the electrical engineering department are driven to ensure that we have all it takes to be exemplary in academia and in our professional lives. During my study, the department highly encouraged us to participate in extracurricular activities such as the IEEE student branch.

It's my pleasure to share my experience as a member of the University of Sharjah PAC, as a supervisor of its interns and as a recruiter of its graduates. A journey I had for more than 10 years. It was clear to me from the first engagement with the university that things are different. From the planning of curriculum updates, to effective communication of objectives, to execution of plans, all the way to enabling students to the market challenges, everything was organized and driven by passion and commitment leading to great outcomes. The university has always been up to speed with continuous development and has always been close to related industries. The outcome of this great effort is seen clearly in their interns and graduates. Many, of which, have been hired by our own organization.

"OpenUAE Research & Development Group is the fruitful result of collaboration between Computer Science Department and Electrical and Computer Engineering Department. Working with the faculty members and the students in ECE has enriched the learning experience and offered a wide range of teaching and research opportunities. The multidisciplinary knowledge we have gained is richer and the several projects are more engaging and more impactful. "
