@ all
biomedical engineering and , any course is possible in nigeria. all it takes is for the policy makers to sit down and vote in favour of the establishment of such department. think of it. many years ago during my own days as a jambite, there are no courses such as system eng. and gas eng (in unilag), software eng, information technology (as offered by some private university), e.t.c. courses evolve from other courses with time. mech and electrical came from civil eng. electronics eng. came from electrical eng. computer eng from electronics, chemical from mech eng, petroleum eng from chemical eng, gas eng from petroleum eng e.t.c.
i think the problem with nigeria is that we are too rigid in our educational structure, course developement and curriculum review. the lecture notes delivered to our present leaders in the educational sectors (profs and phd's) prevails to date. newer thories and inventions are not been re introduced into our university curriculums.take in the areas of programming. basic prog. lang which makes use of character users interface still predominates in the teaching of programming lang in most of our higher institutions. thanks to the solo efforts of some private universties that tends to teach their students in more recent prog. lang and makes them more fit for present real life usage thus making them more marketable.
unless we have a more liberal university, things migth continue like this for a long time.

lekside - you sure do make a lot of sense when you summarize your arguments. EEME would have been the most perfect college major ever.
what's EEME? |

Quite True,
but one is regarded highly because of the things they have done
and not what they intend to do.
I tend to put more stock in what people are currently doing, whatever they've done in the past notwithstanding. |

I was thinking ElectroMechanical Engineering. there are people who study mechatronics (if that's what you are trying to say). you should look into that. MEMS is another interesting field too. |

funny enough I will be taking a course in mechatronics sometime this year.
Let's see if I'll enjoy it. Pure EE is boring to me.
A friend of mine told me MEMS is boring.

@Netotse
Have you found a school yet?
i doubt you would get anything specifically on power system planning.
check out Durham, a friend of mine is going for a power course there and is a really good school
@Ajanlekoko
yes sir.

S'up with software engineering. I was thinking of doing something to help myself and it sounded attractive to me, given the rate at which we are going digital. What d'ya all think?

Everything already went digital, bro. Software engineering, maybe not the fundamental principles, but at least the tools and techniques, are a fundamental part of every engineering discipline. At least, in markets where engineering is truly practised. However, it's the same old C/C++, Java, VB, and dotnet that skills you need. Did a seminar topic during my postgrad on numerical machine-tool control, and I was surprised to find that most of the applications were based on Visual Basic. So make sure you are well grounded with the basics of these development tools and environment. |

i've checked the durham website, didnt find anything really pertinent o. . .saw somefink on renewable energy but thats not what i'm after was thinking more along the lines of the US(a brit Msc is 1 year and most ppl think doing a 2year Msc is better) any advice?

MEMS isn't boring. very interesting stuff especially if you are allowed into a nano technology lab. now mechatronics was boring to me. dropped that class sharp sharp  @gaminechic

don't you go to school all-year round for a 1 year MSc while you have a summer break for a 2 year Msc? |

software engineering is the future of engineering. digital technology is here and the future of electronics/ mechatronics. you are on the right track. the future of engineering and design lies in simulation. very little proffessionals in this field still exist in this country and even in the world at large. |

@Netotse LOL, your not liberated enough eh? But im sure you'd have to go for something-energy, power engineering if not na Hong Kong and China . A friend who is serving at one of the Dams, has ditched power and is going to do communication at Warwick. Dude wants to do CCNP now, so i think hes trying to say either that or the Masters. . BTW: Remember this? |

my own is that i want schools with appropriate courses o!(though i wont mind not having to read for GRE) i'm next to clueless o. . You should do the GRE to boost your application profile to the good schools. some don't require it but its still useful. Why would you want to go to india when the indian students are fighting to come ova here? no go waste your money o. |

a lot of the schools from the google search were indian o, plus when it comes to power the hv a lot of activity. . .dont know abt technology tho, thats why i was asking o. . .i want to be able to think er'thing through b4 the time comes cos too much is going to happen wrt power in naija for me to dull myself! @Netotse LOL, your not liberated enough eh?

BTW: Remember this? u served in niger? yep. . .thats near girls hostel same one in the pic below (prolly the first one. . .cant rem the name but they're all named after local govt)i stayed in shiroro hostel and i'm at shiroro dam. . .how cool? altho during my time the grass wasnt overgrown(it wasnt even grown sef) as per the guy going to warwick he's prolly in jebba or kainji right?no one here's planning on going to warwick(planning to go to jebba soon sef hv camp friends der) hong kong or china ke?that one requires more than liberation o! |

i actually owe you thanks. . .if you hadnt asked i would never hv bothered to find out if COREN had a website(its actually very ugly) anyway sha this is the page wiv the requirements http://www.corenng.org/registration/registration.htm |

Meanwhile, yeah my friend is in Jebba. Akin, say hi to him for me, if you get there.
Have you settled on a course yet?

i'm kunle afolabi by name, i've been reading mr ajanlekoko's texts for the past few days i want him to give me some tips to follow up in my field which is electrical engineering. i graduated last year with 2.2, with B.Tech in commication option. i'm currently serving with union bank in bayelsa state and my plan is to have an experience in banking first so that i can later apply for thier IT departmet in Lagos.
I want you to advise me on this and if you have any other better advice you can give i'll be glad to receive it thank you very much

well, true. i want you to understand taht many of the gadgets that we have today are once fictions written about and acted in movies years and decades back. but now they are parts and parcels of our daily life. even the rockets and space travel to the moon we have today are once imaginatives to the people of the old. i tell you, tommorrows space travel does not lies on rocket engines as we know it today. their overall efficiency is very low. we have tech such as a laser propelled gyroscope. a model of it has been tested. if i have your mail, i may try my possible best to mail you a video clips on this. also anti matter (anti hydrogen/proton) could even do better. we also have electrons propelled rockets, e.t.c just to mention a few |
