everyone is talking about civil mechanical and electrical engr .... please how about we that studied agricultural/environmental engineering what should be our own someone should please advice

techmatas:


now is the era of multidisciplinary engineering. You can learn any of d CAD design skills, you can even go in for Automation and instrumentation training. We recently did some jobs on automated palm oil processing/ refining plant with capacity of over 30tonnes per day. We're also planning
for another one. So there are too many opportunites for engrs in Nigeria especially if you acquire unique skills

Cognitivereason:
Thank u for ur contribution.. Pls how can I communicate with u better ...please I need a much more detailed advice

haryaw:
For Automation, u can check IIT.

SonofGod231:
Using AutoCad,PVsyt, ArchiCAD, PDMS ,Autodesk inventor depends upon the task. Are you making a 2D schematic? How about routing and laying out a PCB board? Or making a complex 3D wiring harness? How about working on complex SCADA designs? Do you need software to check your work?
For Construction, Architectural and Civil engineering design ArchiCAD is better.
As an Electrical engineer it's best you learn how to use Autocad electrical,Autodesk inventor,PMDs.
I was lucky enough,In my 300level as a mechanical/Software engineering student we treated Autocad as a course.
Not many schools do that.

Georgejeez:
Yahoo oo oo ,yahoo zeee eeh.
Come to the school I graduated from ,, the richest burgers and ballers are the Engineering students ,,even provost hails them by their nicknames .

Hustle oo ,make you no enter bike go toast babe when her serious boyfriend get Benz oo

I am going to speak generically a bit, but specifically about Mechanical Engineering.

As an Engr, the hard truth is that what we are learning in schools are not cutting edge nor functional, so do not expect to go to a first world country and bag front edge engineering jobs. The only way that happens is when you re-educate over there and slave for sometime to learn from experience.

Coming over to Nigeria, Remember engineering is all about solving problems of the society. There are many unsolved problems in our Nigerian and African Society, and the funny thing is they are all things that involve already matured Technology.

Why? Because in school we are thought many first principles and physics and complex mathematics, but no body ever taught us how to put these things together to solve actual real world problems. So you have many people who understand energy, heat, thermodynamics, but cannot create a simple oven.

The greatest gift you can give yourself as a Nigeria engineer is to sit yourself down and get a wholesome understanding of Engineering design(Never Read Shigley alone, you only reference it for design process if you want to make headway) putting together all you have learnt. If you can do this, you only need a few years of industry experience to work with codes and standards and you will never need a job.

I will be very specific
For a Mechanical Engr.
There are two Major Areas. 1.Materials and 2.Heat
For Materials.
1. Understand 3D stress
How and why you should resolve it to plan stress
Convenience of Mohrs circle
How come Von Misses stress can give 1 figure stress representation.

Bending and how these stress applies
Torsion and its stresses
Tension and Compression.

How to actually put all these together to create shafts, gears, sprocket, belt drives, screws, etc. This is the primary reason why you studied Mech Engr.

2. Do same for Heat
Understand how to Apply Heat transfer and thermodynamics to create actual applications, not just those engines you cram and vomit.


3. A. Learn to use just 1 CAD software. The rest are all based on the same graphics and matches concept, just the user interface is different.

B. Learn how to program the computer in just 1 language. The rest are all same, only syntax or grammar is different. They all use same ideas of variables, conditional statements, loops, object or data encapsulation. So just learn 1, you can always easily learn another one if required as long as you learnt the first one properly. One good choice would be how to program spreadsheets with vba.

C. Learn how to use spreadsheets like excel to build mathematical models manually. Nobody has time for paper calculations anymore. And no, Excel is not for accountants. You will be surprised how much you can do on a spreadsheet.


Finally look around you, you will find a problem that only someone with your skillset can solve. Choose something that people are already paying heavily for an imported solution. When you solve it locally you can cash out. Create a solution on your computer.
Sell the idea to someone to fund a prototype. Then sell the idea again for commercialization. You do not need to be employed, rather you have the capacity to create things that will employ others and take your share.
