So you think practicals are superior to theories? Mehn we are doomed in this country

Any idiot can do practical... Intact and robots can be programed do repairs

Lmaooo do you guys even know what goes into designing a bolt? ... Just a bolt or shaft?
So you even know what goes into treatment of materials to achieve desired properties?

That's even done with limitations in space and cost... Lmao

Why do you guys think it take care 15 years to change engine design for cars even with that the new one is designed as an improvement of the old not just afresh

Just because you loosed something and replaced parts you think you are better than someone who use calculus to solve problems

Designing clearance alone for he piston cylinder system, the injection valve system, the stress analysis with head and temperatures control Lmaooo

You go market buy parts lose and replace then you think u are doing good Lmaooo

You can't even defend the design of a bolt before an engineer ...

Engineering is theory and problems solving... Google is your friend... If you want practical go and learn craftsman job

Lovit:
So mention one thing the Professors have designed that solved problems in Nigeria? What?

We may agree with you to an extent but the problems is that those with certificates started this. When you look down at others just because you have a Bsc or Masters of PHD, this is what happens

In the western civilized world, all skills are respected and those who engage in them earns well but here in Nigeria, we look down on people

Nurses are not valued here but over there, there are hot cakes

Man laments as engineering professors fail to fix faulty faculty generator in his department.


"I was in this faculty some time ago, when the faculty generator had issues, none of the professors of engineering could fix it. They had to look for – my question is why is why is it a faculty of engineering if the diesel power plant had problems and it could not be fixed?" – A Nigerian youth stirs reactions after sharing a surprising experience at his university’s faculty of engineering.

So because of NL I should start arguing engineering with a zoology or linguistics graduate?
Na wa oo

CodeTemplarr:
apt. Design is more complex and has to be done with advanced tools that are largely abstract in nature or output. Becauseof this complexity, engineering is always very vast and stretched. They also enploy many hands to introduce more desirable features and thus compete in the market.
There ia the issue of scales of economy also. You probably wont stress youraelfto design a tv or radio reciever pcb only to end up printing on copy. It will be unfeasible for the market.

Zionmdde:
Only the ignorant cannot differentiate between an engineer and a technician
An engineer translates the theories into designs and models which are actualized by the technicians under the directions and supervision of the engineer

So a mechanical engineer has no business repairing a generator. Not in Nigeria, not even in Germany. He can only give an idea of what is wrong with the generator and not to repair it

FutureFocus:
My former Boss turned diver was a mechanical engineer trained in Germany, Who love old heavy diesel patrol vehicles, his mechanic couldn’t fix the last one her got and this man started telling the mechanic what to do, boom within 2hrs the vehicle started working , no university faculty of engineering does that in Nigeria

Stop defending una failure ... that's why many foreign company have hijack una work what concern engineers with office work ... what kind of problem has Nigeria engineer has even achive .... we know other profession contributing if naa because of theory alone do you think other advance country will get to where they are ..... engineer in this country is a joke... naa name una get... mechanic engineer wey no fit change plug ... if naa so people that built all the technologies of today dey do una go see anything study ...... a road side mechanic better than most of una .... as an engineer if there is nothing to design won't you find a way to maintain what has been designed

TruthsFM:
Nawaoooo. What is the essence of studying machines and its functions in the school then.

Even ekiti state with the highest amount of professors in the country (according to RoNu members) could not fix their diesel generator smirk 😏

Meanwhile rag-tag Igbos refined petrol and created ogbunigwe from scratch amidst a 3 year war zone

Their are people trained for fixing generators and that is not a part of a university professor job description whose primary job is research , teaching and comunity service. while a professor of mechanical engineering understands how the generator works and could also design one. fixing a particular generator even if he wants to do it himself would take considerable time as he may have no working tools for the task and have no experience with the design of the current generator.

mrvitalis:
The ignorance in this statement and the comments above collaborating it is beyond shocking

What concerns a prof of engineering from fixing generator?

Nigerians needs to know the difference between "Engineers- Technologist-technicians and craftsmen "

Generator being bad is not an engineering problem... Certainly not
But if that model of generator keep having unforeseen problems over and over again then that's an engineering problem



Engineering is 100% office work, you design, you solve problems, you innovate

Moreover no one can be a professor of engineering... U want to die? ... You can't even be a professor of mechanical or electrical engineering

You become professor of thermodynamics, professor of mechanics, professor of power systems, professor of material metrology


Our educational system is bad really bad and the guy in the video shows it

Before we start, what's you profession? I can't be explaining some things to a political science graduate

If Nigerians hate it then just know that it is the truth that is being said.

Omoawoke:
I don’t understand this road side illiterate point of view

Does Professor of engineering means he should be able to repair every mechanical device?

People should please update their brains, this is 2025.
Who even said engineers are those that fix broken machine parts?
There’s a reason a mechanic is different from a professor of mechanical engineering.

There’s a reason a software engineer is working in Microsoft while a computer repairer is in computer village…
A software engineer cannot repair a phone… they are not repairing phones and computers in Microsoft or Apple. They are doing highly skilled and professional jobs not technicians
