Industry University link Program Made In Your Country Competition By Mohamed Aboud, Mohamed Ibrahim, Yasser Tawfik IEEE Egypt Section Industry University link (IUL) is a program that encourages cooperation between industry, University and government by directing the engineering faculties' activities, application researches and projects toward the development of the country’s industry. This is achieved by solving real industrial problems, creating new industrial products and meeting our market needs. University cooperation with the industry and the government will be conducted professionally, based on science and enhanced training. The aim is to guarantee high quality end products achieved by university professors, students and industrial mentors. Made In Your Country is one of the activities running under the IUL program, it is a competition between engineering universities where teams, of students ( in their final year ) , and doctors with the help of industrial mentors, will design and build a graduation project based on real industrial cases selected every years by industrial and academic experts. The competition organized for the first time by the IEEE Egypt GOLD, under the auspices of the minister of foreign trade and industry and the minister of the higher education and scientific research together with the cooperation of a number of private and governmental institutes. The final project (Prototype) should achieve at least one of the following: - Solving a real industrial problem. - Fulfilling a local industrial need. - Substituting a similar imported product. - Creating a new need in the market. The goal of the Made in Your Country competition is to improve the practical engineering experience for students and their personal and leadership skills through applying theory on a project for a real industrial case. After the competition, universities graduates will be more qualified for the industry market and will have better opportunities to start their own small businesses. Besides, the industry will benefit through solving their problems and produce new product prototypes and solutions through engineering universities projects. It will also have chances to recruit more qualified graduates. The university will benefit through improving students skills, interacting with the industry and turning theoretical projects into practical projects needed by the industry, thus improving the universities efforts in the development of our countries. The Competition Overview. Every year the Made In Your Country competition committees will announce in all engineering universities a competition projects needed by the local industry. You are also required to participate with your ideas through the application form abstract (see application form) www.ieee-egyptgod.org Doctors and students should apply as a team to participate in the competition. The competition projects will also be the graduation project for the students. -Competition phases The Made In Your Country competition will start in July 2006 where teams will pass through phases starting by a summer training camp and ending with the competition finals in the Egyptian Engineering Day, EED august 2007. The competition phases are as follows: Applying and Selection phase. The summer training camp phase. System Level Design and the industrial visits phase. Detail Design phase. Testing and Refinement phase. Production Ramp-Up phase. The Finals (will be held in the Egyptian Engineering Day, EED 2007). Teams will submit the required reports to the Made In Your Country committee by the end of each phase of the competition. - Teams Selection criteria The selection committee will evaluate the project abstracts according to the following criteria: 1. The real need for the idea by the industry. 2. The potential impact of the application on local industry. 3. How practical will the be project and could it be implemented. Made In Your Country committee will encourage projects ideas that replace an imported product or that solves an local industrial problem.

Announcement of Morocco E-week Students Competition 2007 The Moroccan Association for Electrical, Electronics and Computer Engineers, and The IEEE Morocco Section are organizing the first Moroccan Engineering Week (e-Week'06) from 19 th to the 25 th of February, 2007. This event will be organized in cooperation with Moroccan Universities as well as several other public and private institutions and businesses. The main objective of this national scientific and engineering event is to promote the engineering profession in Morocco and to stimulate innovation and creativity among the electrical, electronics, computer and other engineering students working in related fields. It is also intended to help these professionals and students access the state-of-the-art technology, and improve their skills in all the fast changing and cutting-edge techniques related to these fields. Several technical and social activities are scheduled for e-Week'06 in different Moroccan cities. One of the main highlights of this event is the students competition 2007. These competitions are open to all engineering students from all the Moroccan Universities as well as young practicing engineers in Morocco aged 30 and less. Candidates wishing to take part in this competition are required to submit their work before the indicated deadlines. The qualified candidates will represent Morocco in IEEE international competitions. All the entries to these competitions will be examined by a jury of Moroccan experts from both academia and industry. The winners will be awarded prizes which include certificates of recognition, issued by the IEEE Morocco Section, together with prizes offered by sponsoring universities and companies. More details and criteria of these competitions will be soon available at our website: http://ewh.ieee.org/r8/morocco/ Best Paper Competition The aim is to recognize technical, written, and verbal communication skills of Moroccan students. These skills are key to successful careers. Candidates wishing to take part in this competition are required to submit a technical document, no more than 10 pages long, describing the different technical aspects of their work or applications. This document should be in electronic format (MS WORD) and sent in by e-mail to essaaidi@ieee.org. The paper should be written either in English or French. Deadline is the 5th of February 2007 Robotics & Electronic Systems Competition The aim is to improve the competitiveness of all the technologies related with robotic and electronic systems within the country at the global scale, and to foster robotic programs within the Moroccan engineering schools. Candidates wishing to take part in this competition are invited to submit a technical document, not exceeding 6 pages, describing the different features of their robot or electronic system in electronic format (MS WORD or PDF) by email to robotic2006@ieee.org. The paper should be written either in English or French. Deadline is the 5th of February 2007 Website Competition The goal of a Web page is to convey information in a manner useful to the reader, similar to the goal in writing a paper. How you convey the information can increase the reader’s interest as well as their knowledge. Thus, the criteria of content, presentation, navigability, originality, portability, and load time are the judging categories. To take part of this contest, send an email with your contribution to: wscontest@gmail.com. Deadline is the 10th of February 2007 IEEE MS Local Offices IEEE Morocco Section has local offices representing it in various Moroccan universities. Their role is to promote IEEE within their faculties and schools, as well as within the local private companies and industries. These offices are meant to be the first point of contact for local professors, students and professionals to obtain information about the IEEE organization and the IEEE Morocco Section. The local offices should keep the local IEEE members informed about any matter of interest that is dispatched by the IEEE Morocco Section or by the IEEE organization. They should also coordinate and work very closely with IEEE MS to organize and plan activities at the national level. Indeed, local offices form a global IEEE morocco network as they bring together professors, students, researchers and professionals. The main aim of this structure is the creation of opportunities where people specializing in different fields and with different backgrounds can come together to share and exchange information, expertise and knowledge. Activities planned during the Morocco engineering week (19-25 February 2006) aim to serve this objective. We hope this IEEE structure will assist all our members in their work and make them even more productive, for the good of our universities and society. Please don’t hesitate to contact your local office and help with your ideas and suggestions.
