To me all Engineering are useless as long as it is in Nigeria. There are more jobless Engineering graduates than any other course. The average Nigerian Engineering Student lack practical experience of the course he is studying. Imagine an Electrical engineering student not able to fix basic electrical problems. Most can't disembark and couple engines. In fact where are the industries to absolve them after graduation.

airsaylongcon:


Abeg let me go gung-Ho on you? What does it mean to disembark and engine? What does it mean for industries to absolve graduates? Did they commit a crime that they need to be absolved?

Some time ago I was having a talk with some friends and the state of Nigeria's educational system came up- then talk of degrees.

One person among us said he graduated with NEARLY FIRST CLASS. I was wondering what class of degree is that. He isn't the first person I would see say such, as I just saw a post like that on NL.

Is it regret or pride? I don't get it,
You are either First class or a Second Class Upper. Deal with it...

owowa145:

Wo, i graduated with over 1st class, still no lucrative job #InsideLife

franchasng:
Chemical engineering is as useless as forestry and bee rearing, so don't compare it with Mech Engine

franchasng:
if you studied mechanical engineering in a federal university in the southern part of Nigeria, you will understand that anybody that graduated with 4.48 is actually a first class material, and would have possibly clinched 4.98 if he studied accounting, biz admin, etc.


Have you wondered why engineering students dominate in Nigerian top banking positions in the past Because they always pass the aptitude test more than the arts and social science graduates.

The only people that can rock shoulder with Mech engine grads in Nigeria are MBBS grads

If you did engine drawing, calculus, thermo, advanced calculus, etc, u won't be talking the way u are talking

clems88:
I tell you. The guy has pride

Martinez39:
Hahahahahhahahahahahahahahahaha . It means he got a second class upper and his CGPA is almost 4.50 (minimum for a first class). Their ego and deep regret at not getting a first class are what make them say such.

urahara:



Really?

From which school ?

franchasng:
lol I agree though but some courses ehn, students do run mad studying them.


Some courses are not meant for average students cos they will get brain issue studying it. Do you know how many students who drop out of software engineering courses abroad Can you do coding and programming So tomorrow a first class graduate of dentistry or animal science will be looking down on a 2.1 graduate of software engineering

Even in the rating of IQ there is grading, IQ pass IQ even though two individuals may have high IQ but one will have a higher IQ or intelligence quotient than the other.

owowa145:

University of East London ooo, baba i tire. Most companies sey make i go start my own business like its a crime to av 1st class.

airsaylongcon:


You really over rate Coding and programming. Software Engineering is way way more than coding.

And I’m a bit worried about your vacillating comments. First you assert that only Doctors can stand with Mech Eng. Then somewhere else belittle Dentists by asking if they can stand with Software engineering. U do know that Medicine and Dentistry are on the same academic level. Hence they all get registered by the same body the Medical and Dental council of Nigeria.

urahara:


Nawao . So the legends were right after all that not all first class graduates get jobs.

franchasng:
all my school mates knew I was a first class student, they expected a first class, I missed out with 0.02 and landed at second class upper, all because I refused to bow down to a useless Nigerian lecturer, so even though it is a second class upper, it hurts knowing it was supposed to be 1st class cos most schools would have augmented it to assist the student and to boost their own school's profile, of what benefit is withholding the 0.02 to them And I am not regretting anything because I did more than what I was supposed to do, I didn't even lived campus life all because of dedication to studies...it is more of anger than regret....anger that one stupid lecturer made me miss it, and waiting for an opportunity to deal with that lecturer or any of his likes in future, call it vengeance, I agree

Most of my course mates blamed me though that I should have just acted like a Roman since I was in Rome, but I am stubborn in such things, I rather lose out than bow to Pharaoh and reason I don't like Buhari too no matter what people say, if Buhari give me an appointment, I will publicly reject it and reject him!!


You won't understand how much it pains until u are in same shoe someday.


What class of degree it is; in student's terms some call it upper 2.1

Sharap dia. ITIBOLIBO . your 1st in wayotistics is equivalent to a pass in mech engineering

Saintbusco1:
in the same vein some people will find more fulfilment in life as his own boss than some bankers

ADAMUdaCOWBOY:

I understand you but I doubt you understand me, because if you do, I don't think you and your ilk will go round town disturbing public peace trying to convince all working people to be ashamed of themselves.

Saintbusco1:
well you are a COWBOY

Popular line! That is how the conversation always ends between me and nairaland dimwits whenever they run short of words!

it doesn't matter bra, my anger is being denied my merit, not that result or degree matters to me at all.


Is it easy to have a first class in Mechanical engineering

He is comparing first class in Accounting and Business Admin with 1st class in Mech Engine.


1st class in Accounting is equal to 2nd class in Mech Engine

Chidorx60:

Its obvious that you are intelligent....

But its quite a shame that you are so damn proud.....learn to contain your ego...that was the exact reason you missed out on a first class..and you still have not learnt your lesson
