Engineers apply principles formulated by scientists and researchers to create a solution for a problem.
When I create a solution for a problem, I can fix whatever fault that comes up in that solution.

In order to fix faults in solutions created by other people, I have to learn about their solution first. This is what the roadside mechanic or technician does. An internal combustion engine was invented. Different manufacturers added extra components to optimize their design for their specific need.

As an engineer, you learn how the original engine was made and how it works. You can't be taught all the variations that has been made to it. That's where you have technicians and mechanics that specialize.

Thats also why a uni professor will try his best not to associate his lectures with designs by brands or business entities. It is unprofessional. Some people dont admit their wrongdoings for no reason. He appears one of such.

I wonder what a professor will do under an electric vehicle or electric tractor?

Seems comprehension is the bigger problem, so let me see if I can make it simpler
For the last time,
You don't repair a computer chip, you replace it
The chip is a unit in the computer system, if a computer is faulty, you identify the unit that is causing the problem and replace it.
In repairing the whole computer system, you replace the faulty component or unit.

Same applies to a vehicle, if the engine is not firing well, find the fault. If it is the plug, you replace the plug NOT repair.
And this troubleshooting to pinpoint the unit causing issue and recommending a fix should not be a problem for a well trained engineer
Decoupling, replacing and coupling back is the work of the technician.

An engineer being trained in the design should be able to identify the fault straight from school but a mechanic needs years of experience with various parts, engines and engineers to be able to do same

You are obviously deeply ignorant of where engineering starts or ends.
What you just described is troubleshooting of PC(desktop or laptop) and not even computers in the real sense. A+ and N+ certifications cover those and they are not in anyway related to undergraduate or post graduate curriculum in Computer Engineering. CompTIA used to the umbrella body regulating those two certifications if i remember correctly. It has no link to lecturing in a univeristy in CE department.

Same logic applies to ME too. The average 2025 vehicle is electric propelled or is so electrically integrated to provide more features. Please go ahead and riddle me a little, what will a professor of ME be doing under the hood of such vehicles?

The principles taught by university professors in ME revolves around designs of mechanical systems generally and not just vehicles or automobiles. It could be the mechanism of a button on a computer, a hand-propelled food processor, a farm tool, an harvester, a machine for producing other things, a padlock mechanism, a cast for making new parts and shapes, a rig to extract a unique resoures like hydrogen, a mould to make USB cables or electronic appliance case. The range is wide so why associate a professor with roadside mechanic of all things that appeals as mechanical to you? Why?

To further cure your ignorance, CE in university doesn't teach repair or troubleshooting of PCs. They teach things like logic gate, communications and data processing, low pass filter and high pass filters, number system and digital electronic foundations logic elements(And, Or, Nand, Nor, Xor), computer architecture and models, intro to machine language and more. They may mention RAM, HDD, Northridge Southbridge, processor, ALU, cache, I/O, ROM sparsely but never focus on how to identify fault in any of the above.

You have a very long long way to go ITbomb. I hope you dont blow things up for real in your IT bombing career? Chai...

Does that make any sense to you or just a face saving tactic and something to shamelessly cling onto?

When you are ready you can show the whole qorld an example of computer chip being repaired or fixed with any form of tools. You are ITbomb afterall.

BenedictAbajue:
The curriculum was not made for practising. As an engineering student, we are basically being instilled with Knowledge and more on Problem Solving Mindset.

The problem is that each engineering course you know is actually very very diverse. Since there's limited time, you can only have the basic knowledge of each field.

Take for example, I'm studying Electronics and Computer Engineering. Fields we are expected to have a basic idea on:
Electrical Engineering (generating and substations, calculations on NEPA transmission lines and prepaid meter billing)
Programming of Microprocessors
Artificial Intelligence
Telecommunication Engineering (How network providers operate).

Do you see now that what we have a wide knowledge compared to the roadside phone repairer?

People in Mech don't do only automobiles...they do air conditioning too, even biomass energy generation.

Lastly, asking a mechanical engineer to repair your car is like asking a medical doctor to perform hemispherectomy....you need a neurosurgeon for that. Likewise, you need a mech engineer who is specialized in automobiles to repair your car

Correct!
Let mw add to that list.

- Number Systems and Binary Operation
- Data Communications methods and transmission.
- Digital Logic and Gates.

Computer is just a device that performs computation and that makes it confusing to most. They dont see how they scroll through their phone or make a call as a computation of any sort they believe phones can be made on roadside workshops. Computer chip manufacture is a multi-billion dollar business. Intel and TSMC are building $100B complexes each. Thats not the stuff clowns want to step into.

Mercedes Benz final products are 30% German and 70% foreign manufactured but 100% German designed. Thats should hint any sane human being that manufacture ia not a child's play.

Who is Teller abi na Peller?

This one is highly connected ooo ... unlike that calabar babe.

Our stats is right there with Afghanistan and the likes.

ITbomb,
Is there anywhere in the world where they repair computer chip? It shows you are just typing to save face. If any exists, show me one. Just one.

Back to topic, the principles of design, which is what engineering fields professors teach and expand upon, does not put them in position to deconstruct or reverse engineer designs to the point of recommending replacements. An IC can be bad yet look normal. Lol. How will a prof go in there and identify a nanoscopic part? Which equipment do they use for that? Get knowledge and stop holding unto motor park fables about engineering.

The principles of mechanics for example will help a designer calculate force needed to propel a system linearly and translate that into circular motion then break down circular motion further into torgue and the likes to design a fairly complex system thats reliable. The aim of teaching university undergraduates mechanical design principles is to help thwm actualize designs and not to repair or troubleshoot existing ones which maybe incorporated into complex products that are not just mechanical but electrical inclined.

ITbomb:
focused on researching knowledge/teaching?

A Professor should be an academician no doubt but before you teach, you must have master the knowledge.

The difference between a good mechanic and a time waster is ONLY in identifying where the fault is - proper troubleshooting.
You either get that knowledge from years of working on different faults (Expeirenced Technician) OR learning in schools (Trained Engineer).

A Mechanical engineer cannot identify a fault in a vehicle? Shame on him and the curriculum he was schooled.

As a Mechanical Engineer (Electrical Engineers also), Once you identify the fault and outline how to fix it as an engineer, you can leave it to the technicians to dismantle the car, get the specified parts (specified by YOU), fix it and recouple the car.

A stitch in time saves nine so let me try for you.

You should research simple terms like trademark, brand, model/design, engineering models, technician, build, and phrases like body of knowledge. How many exam scripts did Einstein or Faraday or Newton mark to become professors?
Yet they are highly revered because their works no doubt advanced the body of knowledge beyond where they met them as young researchers.

While our teaching system is regressive, the idea of blaming a professor for not leaving his research and teaching role to master innumrable designs available in the market, is daft at best. Most of the products you are expecting a professor of mechanical engr or electrical engr to fix most times are not wholly mechanical or electrical, that makes the idea extremely stupid. They involve many designs packed within a single product and all designs are not comprehensible. Some are intentionally crafted to decieve rival brands or reverse engineers looking to steal ideas. Some are crafted to conceal patents. Others are done poorly to beat down cost.
The latest Iphone uses more than 17 billion transistors in its core chip and it will be deeply stupid to expect someone with computer engr degree to repair 17 billion transistors packed into a space less than 0.5" square. There are multi-billion dollar nano engineering and precision engineering equipments that played key roles in helping to pack 17 billion transistors into an area less than human thumb. The fact that the name of the final product is called "computer" or "personal computer" doesn't make it a wholly computer engineering affair. There are processes with chip manufacture that takes between 22-26 weeks to achieve and so i wonder how a professor will master that also and identify such faults.
Most automobiles today have many computers within them and i wonder what a mechanic will do with transistors in any of the computers he isnt even aware of. They just know, there is some electronic/electrical module in there. Not much more.

In addition you can research differences between manufacturing and design. Intel is going throug rough times right now because they refused to specialize between those two areas. I wonder what one professor will achieve.

flokii:
A professor of mechanical engineering understands the principles of how mechanical systems work, whereas the auto mechanic only understands the surface, he has to learn how to repair different brands of vehicles before he can even touch them.

I think the best way to describe it is to classify professors as academics and auto mechanics as the technicians.

Most innovations in mechanical field of engineering were and are still being made by the professors in universities, not road side auto mechanics.

Apt.
Let me add that teaching of principles of engineering does not allow for the petty idea of focusing of brands like Toyota or Honda or Ford. Doing that can be seen as promoting brands and their designs. Think about it, there innumerable mechanical designs from different brands covering autos, equipments, household items and more. What university teaches are the principles that help you aactualize fairly commplex designs. Your masters degree is suppose to help you advance into narrower fields within your first degree scope and expose you to advanced tools. Thats like further streamlining and not an expansion of scope. In the bible God gifted humans with tool making skills and product making skills. Two complementary and supplementary skillsets. Since then engineering has evolved into innumerable fields and area specializations. Technician roles are no doubt lesser than engineering.

MightySparrow:
Most Nigerians are illiterates. Once they say somebody is a professor, they believe he/she knows everything about everything.

To your question,no. In engineering profession we have engineers, technologists, and technicians, each have their different trainings and assignments.

The urge to cheaply bring others down is inherent in the black man and largely responsible for the bolded. Witchcraft mindset is another way to put it.
Engineerig is simply about designs, which are no doubt more complex and demanding. The engineering syllabus in university system breaks engineering into physics principles bits, their mathematical representations, components and component models to actualize their behaviours.
Technicians role revolve around repairs, maintenance and operation.

I have read where people deride professors of engineering for not being ble to fix computers or automobiles or household electrical appliances. Are professors suppose to be technicians and master designs from every major brand?
Wondering how a professor who attended a University system and is focused on researching knowledge/teaching is suppose to become a skilled roadside mechanic or electrical technician.
Universities dont teach brands or designs but design principles and dynamics so i find it odd when people expect a lecturer in an engineering faculty to be a master of specific brands and their designs.

Going by the figures posted up there, the number of all practicing medical doctors in Nigeria are less than 45,000 in total. And we have a population of over 200 million people.

.. this is approximately a ratio of 1 doctor per 5,000 Nigerians. LoLz!

if not for terminal issues and serious cases, who even visits doctors again?

He used four men legislators instead of 32.

He never paid their salaries despite signing an agreement in the presence of Jagaban.

Agreement is Agreement

Agreement is between two himans and is breakable without attracting the law into personal affairs. Thats horseshit analysis by you.

...really embarrassing. The president lied and this is the proof he lied. Thats whyFagbemi had to accuse Fubara of teleguiding abi na telegrapghing militants so desperately as a way of covering the cracks broda Yekini left.

Same one Fubara was accused of not doing anything about reconstructing. Thats a lot of contradiction right there ooo.

Mumu picture.
