About the Branch

The IEEE is divided into different categories according to geographical regions, technical aspects, and expertise.
Geographically, The IEEE divides the world into 10 regions. IEEE Egypt Section lies in Region 8, which includes Europe sections, Africa, and Middle East Sections.

The IEEE history in Egypt is back to more than 50 years ago. Annual Technical conferences and workshops in various engineering fields have been organized by the IEEE Egypt Section since then.

The IEEE Egypt Section is supervising 2 Affinity Groups (AG) in Egypt; Graduates of Last Decade or GOLD AG and the Women In Engineering or WIE AG.

The IEEE Egypt section is also supervising various activities in 15 universities through IEEE student branches.

The IEEE Student Branches in universities, are held in order to enhance the benefits that student members receive from their IEEE membership, help them building up their technical experience through organizing some events and workshops, visits to industry, technical seminars and courses.

The IEEE Egypt GOLD is an IEEE affinity group that encourages the participation of young engineers in promoting the engineering community, fosters real communication between the university and the industry and enhances skills needed for better performance in the professional world.

GOLD has started in Egypt since 6 years and prior to its fast and confident paces it is now the most active branch in the IEEE region 8, which includes Europe, Africa, and Asia.

With a focus on University-Industry link, small and medium enterprises, human and entrepreneurial development in the engineering field, GOLD is running 3 main programs in Egypt; The yearly Egyptian Engineering Day conference and expo since 2002, The Made-In-Egypt Competition with its three categories: graduation, post-graduate and professional projects since 2005 and the pre-collage program that increases the engineering sense in schools. GOLD has also succeeded to build partnerships with technology market leads in Egypt and world-wide to find better channels for its programs participants.

The technology industry in Egypt is booming, however, it will not be nourished without fresh innovative ideas for technology businesses. May be it is time also for you to take control of your career, lead the industry, and market your dreams. Should you be an engineering student, graduate, professional or a business-owner, then you are the right person to deserve GOLD.
