Well, you are correct, it is not clear. The title goes like this:
Faculty: Industrial Engineering. Area: Information Systems. 
Degree: Information Management Engineering. 
I myself, still don't understand what that means aside of course of what that 
actually means :). What the faculty wanted to do is to change the title of 
the degree from just Information System because they wanted to stress that 
this degree is mainly about research and not courses like many universities 
does.
Research at the faculty can mean one of two things. A big project + small 
research thesis or a big research thesis. I choose the later as the 
definition for my thesis and also took the former :). Which means i have 200 
pages of no 1.5 spaced lines :) and the project of programming the research 
subject into PostgreSQL internals. Plus some researchers and i got out a 
paper to VLDB which is an implementation oriented conference, about our 
research and implementation.

In the work department, that means i programmed in C in PostgreSQL (Linux goes 
with out saying) for two years. Gave TA sessions for 2 years about 
ERD/SQL/XML/XQUERY/XPATH/VB/ACCESS(yes i know, access).
Basicly i gave the students a basic knowledge of how to analyze problems from 
a given story and make ERD diagrams, SQL queries, etc... and build it all in 
ACCESS. Made a project in java using the jade framework for building agent 
based, cooperating agents for driving down prices in english auctions.

Aside from that, i have 3 years experience in VB + windows Performance 
Counters(what can you do), and some specific experience in security. 
Experience in VXML. Experience with ColdFusion though no one seem to work 
with it a lot anymore.

My knowledge pretty much extends since i started my high school studies at 
bosmat thru 2 yeas engineering in bosmat, then BSc and now MSc.
However, in recent time i am trying to learn kernel internals and device 
drivers writing, this combined with the electronics knowledge from bosmat 
will perhaps give me some leverage.

The rest, if anyone is truly bored, can be found in my resume which is on my 
home page (written below).

You are probably right, thing is, most don't know what FOSS is about so it is 
less of a problem :).
