For every graduate of engineering, you must have gone through most of the courses I will list below, if not all. This courses are so important that it is near impossible to graduate without having a fair knowledge of them.

1) Thermodynamics : this is the study of heat and temperature in relation to energy and work. The desire to improve on the efficiency of steam engines lead to the development of this course. Terms such as enthalpy, entropy, energy and pressure will be used often in the said course. Thermodynamics have four basic laws, but this cannot be handled here.

2)FLUID MECHANICS : This has to do with the study of fluids (liquids and gases), it is divided broadly into two, FLUID STATICS and FLUID DYNAMICS. With the former taking care of fluids with no sheer stress( ie fluids at rest) and the latter handling fluids in motion. Base on flow, we have compressible and in compressible fluid whose difference lie in their rate of flow with density change. Two most common but very important theories include those of newton's on viscosity and archimedes on floatation. Applications include in aviation sector, shipping / maritime, refineries, production of breweries etc.

3) CALCULUS / ADVANCE CALCULUS : This is an extension of further mathematics, has topics like polynomial, matrices and determinant, integration and differentiation and the most feared of virtually all engineering students Laplace transformation. The application of which cannot be under -estimated.

4) DESIGN/ STRUCTURAL DESIGN/ EQUIPMENT DESIGN/ PROCESS CONTROL.

5) TECHNICAL / ENGINEERING DRAWING. Before any construction/ fabrication work is carried out, it most be properly represented on paper with dimensions.

All engineers on naira land, how many of this courses did you pass through? None engineers who love the profession are also welcome.

Thermodynamics
Aero propulsion
Aero dynamics
physics
calculus
Introduction to Gas Dynamics
Aircraft and Spacecraft Structures
Aircraft Dynamics and Control
Introduction to Solid Modeling and CAD etccc

How do you see Laplace transformation?
what of thevelyn's theory..,electromagnetic field theory.
really baffles me how I managed to scale through circuit theory without a single carry over in That course yet I can hardly explain it to someone else ......#rep elect/elect engr.

Thermo seems more practical, gets harder tho...but practical....machine design seemed to be the hardest but I overcame it 'B'. Exam was open book, and failure was major.

hey guys!
am an engineering aspirant for university of Benin ... I will be back later this year when I finally gain admission by God's grace... watchout!

Also note:I might also request for examples of textbooks I can buy for thermodynamics,fluid mechanics,calculus,engineering mathematics etc.

Thanks in advance

i can neva forget that name"NAVIER STOKE EQUATION" in fluid mechanics.wait,i'm i the only one who did that "theory of elasticity course?",they should have included that course in Quran,lotta alif ba ta.

Navier stokes was one of my favourite equations in fluid mechanics.
Theory of elasticity is a must-do course for you to graduate in Mechanical Engineering.
Plasticity, stress strain, there's a topic that has to do with elasticity in strength of materials- buckling(that equation was one of a kind)

When did the Runge Kutta become something deadly? That is one of the best parts of mathematics. Likewise the Laplace transformation.

Runge kutta is a topic in Numerical methods in 400l advanced engineering mathematics(GEG 401) it's quite tedious and very tricky.
Goons from unilag will attest to this

You did not mention mechanics of machine, strength of materials, metallurgy, electromechanical energy conversion devices and machines, measurement and instrumentation, mechanical vibrations, heat and mass transfer, mechanics of metal forming, automated control system, refrigeration and air conditioning, automated transmission and power trains and energy studies and power generation plant. Am proud to be a mechanical engineer. I rep LAUTECH. Tough school.
