B.tech is a degree...

In south africa, with b.tech you are registered as a technologist..

We operate a different system here, it will likely change when we become full members of the washington accord

COREN get option na to give your Engr. After obtaining B Tech

I am doing the Top up Degree program B Tech Mechanical Engineering there is nothing wrong with Top up, I have colleague who has done Top up Degree program in UK they spend just a Year in the UK. Some of them have done their Masters Degree here in Nigeria.
I already have a Degree in Physics after I obtained my HND Mechanical Engineering.
There is nothing wrong with doing a Top up.
If UK education system that we adopt is doing Top up then why can't HND do such.
Some University do Top up program but call it HND conversion Program, some call it HND to Bsc Program, Post HND Program.
Who feel like doing a Top up should go ahead, We even try to get result, you guys are complaining why some politicians are carrying forge result all over the place.
People are using same HND to get fully Funded PhD Scholarship in the US.
When National Open university of Nigeria started you people condemn it but now Nigeria appreciate it method of learning.

Which course did you applied for

The is working effective now

Smithkafors:
Keep deceiving yourself….person wey no fit complete PH railway.

The amount you spent in last election can go a long way in that rail.

That railway project in Port Harcourt is a Federal project that's how some of you just come to social media without making your research before you type rubbish

Thats my only option that sue my job( Working and Learning) and the cost is what i can afford. it is also close to my current career i would have done my masters in Applied Geophysics.[/quote]
Or Msc Instruentation and control Engineering @ ACESPED UNN

PinkNature:


Why did you go for Bsc physics when you could have gone for the mech engr top up initially?

Thats my only option that sue my job( Working and Learning) and the cost is what i can afford. it is also close to my current career i would have done my masters in Applied Geophysics.

Getting a degree matter even where I am currently working as Technician when you see the Salary of HND Graduate and Degree Graduate, you will know why you need a Degree I already have OND Mechanical Engineering, HND Mechanical Engineering Bsc Physics but currently doing NBTE Top up Degree Mechanical Engineering.

Southboy:
He has said he is not interested in getting paid, I just think the best way would be to do it outside of nairaland or we have a fixed time for the class.

I support this point

Osubi to Lagos

ytdivine:
I nominate @doghorp as assistant course rep to support @southboy in moving the class forward. @southboy has been performing excellently in advancing the group. Two is better than one as stated in the Bible

I have noted all the suggestions and will act on them. All we have been doing is background work, if you have followed up to this point, you will definitely catch up as we enter deep into the program gradually.
I will post videos to illustrate certain points only when am satisfied by the number of followers to justify the time and energy in creating such practical videos.
I have gained this uncommon knowledge and want to pass it across, all I need is seriousness and commitments.
I want to say it again, the training is free

Noted @ytdivine

ytdivine:


You can't understand this program without very active participation, the reason why I view it as waste of my precious time and energy.
Even my powerful course rep @southboy said he has lost memory of some things discussed, that shows lack of assimilation.
Please let only the serious guys indicate their interest not the silent followers

If you want the serious people to indicate interest that means you will need another platform because I really want to learn Automation

ytdivine:
Ladder Logic programming.
Consider the diagram below
We have entered into programming
What do understand from this logic program?
I stop here until I get minimum of 5 inputs from my students

The vertical line are power lines
The Horizontal lines are called rung or network
The Input are always connected on the left side of the Rung while the output are always connected on the right hand side of the Rung.
Power flow from left to right on the rung the flow of electricity will stop because the system is in NO (Normally Open contact) state.
The circuit shows that the logic program INPUT is in NO (Normally open) in other words the system is not energized. The output in the first rung is called -(S)- Set Coil while the output in the second Rung is called -(R)- Reset coil.

ytdivine:
RELAY
You can't understand Automation without a good knowledge of relay logic.
Relay provides a good picture of ladder logic programming language. Relay consists of two things
a. Coil
b. Contacts
When coil is energized, the state of contacts changes. When de- energized, the state returns to original position.
I know by now everybody understands what coil is all about. Contact explanation will be made clearer as we progress.
Look at the picture of relay below and explain what you make out of it.

Class rep, am still expecting the list of inactive students

When the coil is energized it produces a magnetic field. This magnetic field attracts the armature (movable contact). When the coil is de-energized the coil loose magnetic field and a spring retract the armature to its normal position.

Obesity:
If you are an hnd graduate and you have the Financial strength 💪, I will advise you take advantage of this opportunity to upgrade.

I wish you all success

I will do that by month end I want to upgrade to B Eng Mechanical Engineering.

ytdivine:
What is Contact?
What does it mean?

A contact has only two states: open or closed. An open contact breaks the current flow whereas a closed contact allows current to flow through it to the next element. The simplest contact is an On/OFF switch which requires external force (e.g. the human hand) to activate it. Limit switches are those small switches that are placed at certain location so that when a mechanical device moves towards it, the contact will be closed and when the device moves away from it, the contact will be open.
a contact is connected to a load and the contact is closed, the load will be turned ON

Who can tell me what this symbol represent

Thumbs up

Boldtrust:


you don't sound like you know half of what I know about the so called French's atrocities in Africa. I don't support France. I support the people of Niger who deserve peace and freedom, I do not support the criminal who's holding the government at gun point, I do not support replacing France with Russia and its criminal organization called Wagner. Africans should learn to solve their problems independently and stop the art of replacing one slave master with another.

Let the west leave us to solve our problem I have worked with people from french speaking like you said the french atrocities is too much.

Boldtrust:
Brilliant move! Get those criminals off the government. AU making me proud.

Go and read about the French speaking countries and see what France has done to them post colonial then you will that they are tired of been slave to France have you ask your self how these french speaking county are still using CFA till date while is Nigeria not using pound this France want to push bother to fight each other Bleep the west they are in Africa to steal our wealth and take to West for industrialization.

ytdivine:
Another question
a. How does the soft iron behave when DC current is applied?
b. When the DC current is remove?

Where are others outside Southboy, I want other people to make some input

a. When DC Current is applied to a soft iron the magnetic flux is increased and the flux lines will be highly concentrated because soft iron have have high permeability it can strengthen the field and increase the working of a machine, it also have low reluctance which means it allows magnetic lines through them easily.

b. When the DC Current is removed it does not retain it magnetism in other word it does not permanently magnetized

ytdivine:
Automation is built on Logic. You must be logical in your reasoning. Logic is equally built on knowledge, which means you must understand the system very well.
When a system stops working, it means that there is a missing signal. You must first determine the type and the source of the signal in the circuit. If you have a missing 5v or 24vdc signal, you must determine first where the voltage is coming from and the path of flow.

We are going to discuss or learn about CIRCUIT DIAGRAM. This is very important. When there is a fault or problem in a system, the first step you take is getting the circuit diagram. Without circuit diagram, you're not going anywhere. This diagram provides you the paths of signal flow, from there you can trace where the signal stopped.

Problems that has to do with current must be traced to current source, eg inductor. All these, we shall consider in details as we progress.
My motivation is active participation.
I wonder whether this class is meant only for southboy, others should get involved.

Circuit diagram helps when it comes to trouble shooting for sure

Good nairaland group
I have always want to learn more about Automation. I have HND Mechanical Engineering Bsc Physics and I want to do a masters Degree Instrumentation and Control Engineering. Good group to learn from

I started from 200 Level with my HND then but right HND is admitted into 300 Level

Right now HND is admitted into 300 Level

Did you start the physics program from the scratch.

I started from 200 Level with my HND then but right HND is admitted into 300 Level

Who are the scammers

Which NUC I study at National Open university of Nigeria bro everything na online only Exam be physical.
There are a lot of simulation Lab better than those our useless practical when we dey do that year for school education done dey go digital last week I even saw Nnamdi Azikiwe University online Post Graduate Degree I was like men Education done they go Digital
