franchasng: I quiet agree with you, I'm an Electrical Engineer, I'm an IT professional , a fashion designer, (it was too easy to ease into that ,(its all about measurements and dimensions). I'm a teacher, a business woman, I'm into buying and selling. It's crazy when people ask what I do...I have to pause and think, which angle do I want to tackle this question from?,heck I'm better at English than most English graduates I know, and I don't know flakes. Like you earlier said, an engineer can be more than one thing, heck you can be anything you want to be. PS I have a engineer friend who is going for medicine , I'm like dude� 6 Likes |

Anonymous Account here.. Studied Production Engineering. Interned at an IOC as a subsea operations engineer for a DW asset... Exposed me to Oil and Gas industry more importantly I understood working in a multi cultural environment (very important). Currently work as a corrosion engineer in another IOC.. Ciao Some mo.ro.ns are here saying studying mechanical engineering in Nigeria is a waste of time.. Those are the folks who couldn't find jobs Dont listen to them ooh.. Engineering is 99% operations and maintenance... A lot of Nigerian trained engineers design wonderful stuff and work at the highest levels of engineering.. Engineering is a skill set, you can learn even from the comfort of your chair at home..University is just to set the environment.. Even in the US, there is a huge gap between industry and practice, which is why most companies will take you through a graduate program so that you can gain some scope as to what is necessary.. School is just to teach you how to develop a problem solving mindset ... Capish... I wont be replying DMs as I will losing this account shortly.. Bye! 6 Likes 2 Shares |

franchasng: I would like to to explain further , you can do more than that. If you re referring to practical you might have a little point because of the inability of industries to young engineering students . But if it’s the classroom teachings , syllabus and material then u re wrong! The Gupta you use , the tharajas, the sadiku etc are standard syllabus used in IITs , Harvard ,MIT, Caltech. Inside out. The thermodynamics syllabus of UNN is the same as caltech syllabus and the recommended text is the same . The difference is that there is an industry tied to each department and funds it research which we do not have . 7 Likes 2 Shares |

tolukem:That's why I said only trained engineers will understand. People always make mistake of thinking medical doctors are the smartest but heck they are wrong. I would have studied medicine if I loved seeing blood, that was the only barrier why I didn't study medicine. But maybe in future to come I will study medicine to prove a point just as I am studying law now to prepare myself ahead of troubles I am going to be making with government and the thieves in Nigeria called politicians. I am ready to shake Nigeria with lots of trouble, so an Engineer can be a troublemaker too. I forgot to mention that majority of bestselling authors are also engineers, and I am also an author. Engineering prepares you to be versatile, that's one thing I love about engineering. 3 Likes |

AK481:I am not talking about theory. I mean practical. Do you know one of the practical assignments of 2nd year students of Mechanical engineering at MIT I think in 2006 or so was to mold a vehicle engine block; 4 cylinder engine block that most industries cannot do in Nigeria. |

franchasng:Bolded are wrong. If you spent time learning how to operate lathe machines and co, how and when would you have time to complete assignments and scholarstic labs? The mathematical transforms are also part of the syllabus in all universities the world over. |

Mine was years back. I worked in an engineering design office. Spent the whole internship generating protection and control schematics using AutoCAD and other design suites. |

Posts made by some people make you just want to work harder. I'm currently seeking an IT placement (3 months) in lagos, preferably on the mainland. I am a computer science undergraduate (UNN) with a passion for learning and it would appreciate any assistance rendered. Thanks |

I read electrical engineering My first IT was in siemens [1999] the next was in a company called Tacas Associates [2000] My NYSC was at Aluminum rolling mills Ota [2002] in siemens IT was more of rotation through various divsions of Siemens at the time they had an electrical workshop where they fabricated electrical control panels for distribution, sutomation, control etc they had a building services that was executing electrical installations for construction projects [ i recall shell trustees, qusrters, Africa Reinurance building, chartered bank head office [i think it is standard chartered now] they had a communications division that deployed and maintained PABX equipment they had an IT division that supported the Siemens-Nixdorf pcs they were selling they had support division that worked on their Simatic Automation software they had a sales division what did i learn in siemens - i learnt the basics of panel fabrication. panel frame, busbar, MCCBs in Tacas, i basically did building services design. this was 2000, so it was the old fashioned way. drawing board, tee square. in aluminum rolling mills, it was basically plant maintenance your appreciation for your course will depend alot on the company you work in. 2 Likes |

franchasng: MISINFORMATION. With this mentality, we will remain the way we are for generations unborn, with all your knowledge, you don't know specialty makes you better in your field. Who told you Engineers are better than Doctors because they can do XYZ? Nobody pays you well as a generalist to do a Job, that is why Most graduates in Nigeria are very UN-employable. They are all generalist, they can be Marketer, Customer Service & pepper sellers. Nigerians always want to put their eggs in many basket, It doesn't work with Careers. Imagine 3 different & distinct careers -> Mechanical Engineering -> software developer -> Law -> Enterpreneurship No relationship at all. 2 Likes |
