Dude,
Is this real or imagined experince?

r u sure, , too much lie doesn't get 1 a job u knw.
I'm a fresh grad goin 4 service in july God's willing.

I get experience plus B.eng. I am on national service.

Hello, am still undergraduate of mech.engr.(production option)unilorin,though am in my penultimate year, i need a practising mech engr. as a mentol , 08058102616

I need some experienced mech engineers in Abuja. Please forward your cv's to hrfastfood@yahoo.co.uk for immediate employment.

Hi guyz!
Lets keep this thread alive. I studied Mech Engrg in my first degree and MSc too. Not in a hurry for a P.hd yet! I hope to garner relevant experience first so I dont just end up been 'bookish' alone

How about a phd in Canada? Any good opportunity? I did my MSc at UCL in the Uk.

Just graduated from OAU. waiting for NYSC

You have nothing to fear dude. just ensure u take each of d courses seriously especially your departmental courses. u wil succeed!

I'm a graduate of F.U.T Minna, Studied Mech. Eng & concluded my youth service Feb 2010.

I hope we can keep this stuffs alive. Does anyone have any current information regarding mechanical engineers.

I'm a student of Bayero University, Kano. Level 300. Mech. Engr. I wil be doin my SIWES I soon. Pls can anyone connect me to where i can do it. Preferably Lagos or Abuja. Thnx. Great Engineers!!!

Mechanical engineering, a funny course that you study yet you dont feel you have got what it takes to function as an engineer.

Until challenges and situations arise in the normal day to day activities at work place or life generally. Then you begin to recall

the theories and principles that you never thought of earlier. The idea is this, most things needed to succeed in the field have

been apparently supplied during the studies but students are usually oblivious of these. My advise, never take for granted your

basic engineering knowledge, they will speak volumes later in life.


To everyone, whats your best option or course(s) you ever studied during your undergraduate programme as a mechanical engineer?

Nigerian government had granted license to 32 thermal power stations, up till today no university in Nigeria is doing masters or a program in power technology and renewable energy. Denmark and Sweden have gone far in these area.
It is high time we look and think outside the box for stable power in naija.Oil and gas has been developed, we need to look toward sustainable development like coal clean technology etc.That is current trend all over the World

hi guy, i have HND in Mechanical Engineering-Automobile option. On 1year national service.

where are you currently? i have a project i am working on now: software for mechanical engineers. the prototype has been sitting on my hard disk for a while. want to bring it from the virtual world into reality.

i am personally interested in renewable source of energy. have a lot of materials and personal write ups on that. but how do one bring such ideas to reality when one is not Goodluck?

fellow Engines,

pls am a student mech engine, pls about 2 finis h my studies. pls what hope liet for us in this cuountry caqlled nigeria.

What do you mean?

hello all

some questions for the practicing mechanical engineers
1. which aspect of mech. engineering are you into
2. whats a day on the job like and the major challenges involved
3. how would you describe your income, POOR, OK, VERY GOOD

i studied mech eng'g in university in nigeria. now practice in mfg sector as maintenance engineer. also studying for masters in mech.

mech is a very beautiful art, u cant love it enuf when u r into it with ur mind. if u mean monetary reward, u hav to b patient and acquire value first, much later, dem go pay for am. it is like a body wt large inertia, difficlt to get in motion, bt once in motion, evryone feels it, dats our financial style. unfortunately, d local market economy has made it difficult for many of us to practice at all or effectively. ours is a largely service driven economy which does not encourage people in d real sector, which is where we majorly belong. never d less, d system never runs without us, so at all at all, somethn must dey happen. our educational system is only a subset of d larger society without up to date technology.

for d first degree, i still dont hav qualms with d standard, afterall i attended state owned university, yet i relate with contemporaries worldwide and earn my due respect on ground of competence, all u need is to know what u r doing. for undergraduates, dont fall for d stupid school of thought dat most of what u r doin will b irrelevant after school, u r preparing a future snare for urself. in fact ur success in d profession will be based on hw well u are able to relate real time problems with what u learnt. i still hav to go solve euler, laplace, fourier, and other equation problems. i still hav to go back to my old notebooks. i still buy textbooks to read. if i an du were to sit for ur current semester course exam, i will perform like i were ur contemporary. be ready to soil ur hands. dont worry about what d fitters know for now, when u get into d system, if ur attitude towards them is good, they will show u and dat will really help u and in short time u get better than them with it, otherwise, they can set u up with severe consequence.

for hiigher degrees, d system is inadequate as d industries hav evolved beyond what d schools hav to offer, dats d challenge. so what we just do is either go abroad or get to read a lot.d secon option is what i do majorly and it has been very helpful, i hav all sort of materials, pdf books freely downloaded, some from friends who bought, trade magazines and i attend courses. most r piad for by myself and if i tell u how long ( recent) i am on d profession my cv will amaze u not mentionin if i hav to teach u in d classroom, u definitely will look down on some of ur professors. currently i earn stipend but i hav no worry cos i am still payin som price . som r already biddin high for it, but it cld get higher if i wait, so waiting i am.

d long and short of it all is dt it is up to u to make a worthy career out of it, it is more of an attitudinal engineering. u make it and it makes u.

nice one homerac

Im sorry tosay this but everytime we hire a Mechanical ENgineer graduate to work, that person sucks big time

Am also a machine with HND and just rounded up my PDG in same course. i have been in the banking sector since i left service. I really long to return to engineering family

Then you look @your recruitment process.One advice that has bn mention in the forum and which is important take every basic engineering knowledge inportant as this will help when you get to the industry.And try to understand the interpretation and application of all the theory taught.

I hail ,fellow machines. Do we have any IMechE member here, students and/or more esp. those already in the field? Some tips or details 'll be of a great help to upcomers.

There's also this call for being part of the F1 racing cars design, have being briefly introduced to it while in school. I thought of it a fascinating adventure, and though some of us did sign up for different department/sections then, that was it, it ended after school.

So, any contribution as per any of the above stated will behighly welcom.

Lets keep it and other matters coming. God Bless

where is the site

I have Bsc in Physics from Nigerian State University and Msc in Project Management degree. And also some experience in this field. Thanks for sharing this experience.
