My name is xyz. I graduated from abc university in 19xx. Post graduation, I worked for IBM company as engineer for 10 years. I accepted an opportunity to work with Google as technician, where I worked until May 2006. I am looking for a position in engineering where I can expand my professional skills. I hope to be in a position where I will have exposure to many facets of engineering, as I am a quick learner. I am also proficient in computer skills.

Just by reading that I think the first thing they ask you is why you got fired. Also, is the fact that you're going to be taking a course going to interfere with the work schedule?
Be ready to answer these questions truthfully, especially the one about being fired as they will phone your previous employer.
If you didn't work for Google for very long you might even want to leave that off but then you may have to explain what you've done in the time you "weren't working".

It actually sounds pretty good. However, you didn't get "fired" you were "let go for reasons beyond your control" Prospective employers cannot by law ask you or your former employer why you were "let go". You don't want to "upgrade your knowledge" you want to let them think your knowledge is just fine the way it is. Instead you are looking for a long term position in the engineering field as that is your field of expertize.

Don't tell them that you got fired and are collecting EI. Skip over that part. The rest sounds pretty good.
