How will the Oil and Gas go dead? That is the heartbeat of Nigeria, sir.

Even if it happens, it will mean that an alternative SUBSTANCE has been found and guess what?

We're substance ENGINEERS.

Please, how much job opportunities are available for Elect Engrs in Oil servicing firms?

I raised a poignant point about how the worth of ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING cannot be truly grasped in Nigeria. Please state the viable companies that EEE engrs work in Nigeria. I'm talking about companies that do PURELY AND MAJORLY Elect elect jobs in Nigeria. I'm talking about mainstream electronics like the not-so-popular-like-before binatone.

You'd be shocked to find out they are not so much because technology hasn't really blossomed here. The few ones that once made their homes here have all gone due to inability to compete with international companies.

You've lost this fight, bro. Arguing against Chemical Engineering in one of the most naturally endowed petroleum states is a lost fight

I'm going to stop the argument here not because I'm giving up buh cos none of us is ever gonna agree and come to a point.

Both are very good and lucrative courses in Nigeria, we shouldn't be against each other, rather we should work hand in hand and make a better Nigeria.

Dammy Dammy

Which country are we talking about na?

If you noticed what I've done so far, I've used locally generated information. All what you wrote up don't apply to Elect Engrs in Nigeria.

And as for the bolded, it shows you didn't read a word of what I wrote up there.

WE DON'T WORK ONLY IN THE OIL AND GAS SECTOR. THE FACT THAT WE WORK THERE MASSIVELY DOESN'T RESTRICT US.

The biggest grouse I have with Electrical Electronics Engineering in Nigeria is that it is all theoretical. I read the story of an EEE person who couldn't use a tester the other day. Funny as it seems, it's really not his fault because we don't have as much technology appreciation in Nigeria. Go to countries like Japan and China and watch high school children play around with elementary robotics when our Elect engrs keep doing circuit theory.

If you compare this to the Chemical Engineering field in Nigeria, you'll see the difference. Nigeria is one of the highest exporters of crude oil. Even with the current state of faulty refineries, we have a myriad of Oil and Gas servicing companies tthat are here to stay. 1 Addax Petroleum http://www.addaxpetroleum.com/operations

Imagine how much more the job opportunities will become available when SaiBaba makes the refineries more functional

They will be literally looking for Chemical Engineers.

So what point are you driving at, that there is more employment opportunities for chemical Engineers than Electrical Engineers in Nigeria?

Now am telling you that for all the companies mentioned above there are slots for Electrical Engineers cos Our touch is needed in your field and other fields too, Now imagine as many companies in other fields too, they'll also need electrical Engineers for one reason or the other, we're like indispensable thereby paving way and a lot of opportunities for us.

God forbid, let's assume the Oil & Gas sector goes daed today, what will be the fate of most chemical Engineers in Nigeria, what am saying is that you guys are restricted, unlike Electrical Engineers who function in various fields.
shey you get my point

buh am more concerned about the activities going on there

Timmytimmy:


Hehehehe. The problem with this your point is simply,"should a fresher's uncle be the authority for determining which of the careers is more viable for employment?"

You know, there's a common misconception people have about Chem Engineering, Petroleum Engineering and Petrochemical Engineering. They think these names are just synonyms. Well, they are not. My dad's friend once told me that I should have chosen Elect because the petroleum sector can't take Everyone. An average person can guess what Elect Engrs, civil engrs or even Mech engrs do but they can't guess what Chem Engineering is about because the name doesn't give away much. We do so much more than petroleum, sir. We deal with substances, any substance at all. That's why it is heavily economically relevant especially if you are from a school like OAU.

Oh well, I'm sure that guy would leap for joy if he saw the statistics up there.

You have no point here.

I'm going to post the places chemical engineers work in a bit. You'll be shocked to find that we compete for jobs even with Food Scientists from Cocacola,Guinness, Unilever and the rest.

In OAU, we will do our IT in two different companies because one company doesn't help much cover what the course entails.

My friend who graduated last year did her IT in both OANDO and a Food processing company.

Now that's where you're getting it wrong, everyone thinks Elects is all about electricity and wires, meanwhile there is a lot more than that, people cant see the real picture of what its about.

Elect is a very wide and versatile field which provide many opportunities for people, in fact an Electrical & Electronics Engineer can work in an oil & gas company, as there no engineering field that does not require the touch of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Besides its very easy to stand alone as an Electrical & Electronics Engineer unlike in Chem Engr where you guys are all focused on the oil & gas sector which we even have a slot there.

I took my time to study the salary scale of Electrical & Electronics Engineers lemme share what I found with you

Starting salaries for newly graduated electrical/
electronics engineers are in the range of £21,000
to £29,000. Salaries for PhD holders may be
higher.
Experienced electronics engineers can earn
between £35,000 and £45,000, with more senior
engineers earning between £40,000 and £55,000.
Highly experienced engineers can earn in excess
of £65,000. Chartered engineers tend to earn
higher than colleagues who aren't chartered.
Salaries vary from company to company, with
some sectors attracting higher salaries due to
demand.
Hours of work can vary and this may affect the
final salary. A 40-hour week is typical. However,
the commercial pressures associated with
electronic design mean that extra hours during
evenings and weekends may be required at busy
times in order to meet deadlines. Contract staff
are often recruited to meet peaks in workloads.
Work usually takes place in a laboratory or office
environment, although some projects may require
you to work in workshops, factories, or even
outdoors.
Self-employment and freelance work are
sometimes possible for qualified engineers with a
good track record and experience. Short-term
contract work is possible, and is often arranged
through agencies.

Lemme win this argument before it begins.

According to "a critical analysis of the human output of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Chemical Engineering Department", a research carried out by Adetunji, A.O. (2013) - a final year student of the Chemical Engineering Department, it was reported that the Department has produced up till date a total of 1,514 alumni with 1,280 males and 234 females. The employment spread is as follows: about 44% of the alumni work in the Engineering field with about 65% of them working in the oil and gas sector about 15% are in the academic, about 11% are in the banking sector, about 15% are in other industries (which include Food, Telecommunications, Cement industries etc.), about 2% are in government while about 13% fall into other categories which include entrepreneurs, consultants and managers.

Knock Out.

Guy take it easy na, so because of this small argument you took a quick research on Google and Wikipedia...


Anyway this was what I found on jarushub about a fresher lamenting cos he was given chem Engr.


Your posts motivated me to obtain OAU pre-
degree form, sat for the exam and was
admitted. I keep myself familiar with your posts
concerning OAU during the program because I
do get inspired by them. I sat for OAU post
jamb during the program and I was successful
both in post JAMB and the pre-degree
programme. I opted for Chemical Engineering,
now OAU has released cut-off marks; my
aggregate score was 284.5/400 and the merit
cut-off was 255.
I was far above the cut-off mark, I told my
uncle about this good news but he wasn’t that
happy about my course (Chemical
Engineering), and he said I should have applied
for a course like Electrical/Electronics
Engineering which have a better and wider
chance of employment than Chemical
Engineering. He said Chem Engineering is a bit
narrow because most of them want to work
in oil companies, but an EEE grad has a better
chance of gaining employment
easily compared to the Chemical Engineering
guy. I am thinking of changing the course when
we resume but it’s hard for me to make
decision because I am very confused.

Dammy nice one there.

Some people don't know that
Control & instrumentation
Communications
Automation
Signal processing
Robotics etc

Are All part of electrical engineering, i just laugh when people say they go to school to study electrical engineering so as to know about power, power is just an aspect. All the categories above are what electrical engineers delve into today. A common electrician cant do control engineering its not possible. The field is wide your versatility is what matters.

I am Proud to Study Electrical Electronics Engineering in the school that has produced A-gamers in the field ,running things even in MIT

God brought white light(spectrum) into existence. Electricity is the flow of electrons. It is not white light

Plus we are all Engineers. We all use Electricity at some point in design. Mech boys use it in Machine design. ChemEngine boys use it in process design. You guys just need it more because you're boring and that's the only thing you play with

All the same there is no invention you make that won't have a touch of an Electrical Engineer.

So if you make any invention, I'll be part of those that will take credit for it.

E no enter jor. I am not studying Chemistry na. Na dem queenabby be Chemist. Most people don't know what Chemical Engineers do. That's why we earn so much

Okay I guess its high time I spelt it out.

There is difference between an Electrician and an Electrical Engineer, Electricians fix and repairs Electronics, they work on ready made inventions, buh the Engineer builds what the Electrician fix, the Engineer makes the circuit.
Its highly sardonic, disheartening and leaves me bewildered how people compare an Electrician with an Electrical Engineer even when the difference is like heaven and earth.

The first thing God did was to bring light into this world, without electricity this our world is void
