i am a civil engineer and i would like other professionals to post on this thread. lets talk about our work, challenges we face in carrying out our duties so we can advice each other on how to improve our performance.

I felt so great when I read your piece. I want to study civil engineering in the university. But I want to know about COREN.

Hello
I saw the post and its a welcome development. i am a mechanical engineer too by training and am involved in the oil and gas sector presently.
what exactly do u want us to use this forum for and a young man said he will like to be a civil engineer, why not mentor him.

Thanks

Akyus,
COREN mean council for the regulation of engineering in Nigeria. It is a body responsible for regulating engineer practice in Nigeria. COREN is to Engineering, what Nafdab is to food and drugs. It was established by constitution. It register engineering personels and firms.

However, you can't just walk to COREN office and seek registration as an Engineer. You must first be a registered member of an Engineering association recognized by COREN. NSE is the oldest and most popular engineering association in Nigeria. It is the most vibrant engineering body in Nigeria. Even COREN is not as active as NSE. Also, most of COREN's Presidents, are at one stage NSE presidents. It is also intructive to note that NSE Presidents and chairmen are members of Engineering council hosted by COREN. And most of COREN's activities are executed through NSE.

u have to register for NSE first before COREN. to register for nse, go to www.nse.org.ng and download the application form there.u will also sit for the exam.
As for what i want on this thread, i want us to discuss our challenges and success. i am presently nearing the end of my second project hoping to be transfered to another in december. it is a water treatment plant in ilorin using lamella clarifier which is a new method in use now.

I also want to know what is the difference and similarity between it and Branding.

Am a Musician and am striving hard to make my Album a one Tight, any clue on this please dont hesitate to love-vendor me personally on dankmen208@gmail.com

mechanical engieering student corrently on IT. chalenges so far experienced:

1. most big engineering firms still use foreign specialist. e.g. breweries sector, oil and gas sector

2. lack of proper practical training in tertiary intsitutions

3. lack of millionaires to invest in production or manufacturing business.

4. mentallity of nigerians towards engineering.

5. no functional ministry or institution into research in enginnering fields.

6. lack of educated leaders for too long who dont understand that the country with the most technology will rule the world. and others will pay billions for it.

There is nothing as good as having a club based on speciality. What I mean by this is, having a club for e.g Mechanical Engineering student for doing researches and invention, Medical Students reseach groups and on.

If the above can be done, I believe we're gonna get to where we are aiming for.

hey! i'm a computer engineer and now venturing into computer networking and i hope to knock off one of the cert exams soon. its nice to know that like minded people are out there. KIT
