Salam Zinab,

There are some steps you can implement it to build your skills,

1. Try to write your C.V. first and take a deep look on it; then find some strength points that is not exist in your C.V and try to build in it your self. task by task...(for example.. attending training sessions),  then update your C.V. every 5-6 months by filling the new skills that you have...In my opinion, I think that writing and  your C.V will be a good motivation to learn and add new skills which will increase the professionalization.

2. Take a look on the list of commercial  electrical companies that exist in your country, and find the latest projects that they are working on it,, then start to search on the last related project and try to develop simple projects, this idea will give you opportunity to develop your skills practically..like simulation,, designing..etc.

3. Build a good connections with experienced electrical engineers.

4. Visiting exhibition is a good idea to take a look on recent projects and meet its team leader to have discussion on it. 

Good luck and best regards.

To be a professional Engineer you need.

1) Strength your English Level (Reading and Writing)

2) Try to strength the Self Learning capabilities.

3) The communication skills is very important topic you need to study.

4) You should choose  the track you will move in.The Renewable energy is the most recommended one for the coming 10 years.

5) If you choose the renewable Energy topic then begin to see the available projects in and begin to study the simulation and optimization tools in concern.

Now you can communicate with the companies on that topic and show your experience and capabilities.

Good Luck and best regards

Start working in related fields, with open mind with thinking and understanding.....as technical fundamentals are there, with you.

If you are still a student at university, then hopefully your school will have set up multiple interviews with prospective employers, during your last year. I think this is the best place to start. It would be best to have ideas of areas that interest you, as you seem to have already expressed, so you can discuss possibilities during the interviews.

Of course, don't be surprised if your first ideas don't pan out. And don't be surprised if you will be grateful that this was the case, a few years down the road. What you think might be exciting now you might discover is not. These things have a way of working out.

You might also have friends or acquaintances who are working in the field that might help a lot. My first job was one that my brother pointed out, and was more interesting to me than the other options I had as a result of interviews at school.

And then, after you have a few years in the job, say three to five to maybe 10 years, you might just receive other offers. Companies these days seem keen to hire young engineers who already have a bit of experience.

I think it is hard to be professional on multiple topics in EE. I do agree that the renewable energy is the promising field for the several coming years. Good luck 

As Mr.Desai mentioned, start working with an open mind (especially, if you are looking for a job. If you are planning to do research, then you should have clarity on the area you would like to explore)

I 've come across Engineers who switched fields & mastered them -- Electrical Engineers who design high end Compressors (used in Oil & gas exploration), Mechanical Engineers who handle Electrical design effortlessly, Electrical Engineer who went on to become an expert in vibration analysis... (I have to admit that, I myself is not open like that & a bit vary of working in a different stream).

Make your fundamentals strong, Be confident, be sincere & put your 100% into whatever you do... Rest will come on its own...

Thanks a lot  ^_^
