Like seriously you want to pursue this path? undecided
By the way, where did you crop out that half baked information?
And what is "countable" doing there?
Your next reply will indicate whether I will give you 6 strokes and then educate you, that's how I do back then.

Sir, go and do research about it. I stand to be corrected because nobody is perfect. But on this one, I will beat you hand down.

You have not countered me yet. This is an engineering term especially mechanical engineering as my field.

Aah aah! Why sir? I bear no acrimony against you my good sir. This is just about our Nigerian university educational system being a waste of time or not. Open your company & I will surely patronize you if am close by cool

Until you become innovative, I can't rate you above a road side mechanic. You might be educated, but he has the experience and can source for solution with his critical thinking when a dire problem arises unlike you that will be consulting a textbook.

We have Toyota Manual we consult. We only consult toyota manual when we have complex problems. We deal on latest cars with modern technology.

I have the experience than a roadside mechanic young man. Read my early posts, I have been with them and worked with the roadside mechanics before I rose to this level. For now, with my voluminous experience, they can't dare me because I have the knowledge, experience, theory and I am educated too.

I do diagnose cars for some of them and they pay me well. They can't interpret "fault codes".



Oh good. Just that I was shocked that you, a mechanical engineer working with a car company is also working with a garri factory cheesy

English
Etymology
From French machinerie (“machinery”), from
machine (“machine”); see machine.
Pronunciation
enPR : mə-shē'nə-rē, IPA ( key) : /məˈʃiːnəɹi/
Rhymes: -iːnəɹi
Audio (US) ( file )
Noun
machinery ( countable and uncountable, plural
machinery )
1. The machines constituting a production apparatus, in a plant etc., collectively.
2. The working parts of a machine as a group.
3. The collective parts of something which allow it to function.
4. ( figuratively) The literary devices used in a work, notably for dramatic effect.

I repeat, there is nothing like machineries young man.

I stand to be corrected here. So you think all Engineers do know English. Sorry, you have meant the wrong one


There's a reason I used [ ] when I mentioned the cassava milling factory. I didn't mean you work there, just insinuating to drive a point but seems am right grin
Now look at the bolded, what are you saying? You don't work there but you are working there angry You are going & coming?? Anyway I gat your gist wink


You just succeeded in telling us that you're a sales man...smh angry And I thought that you're creating & designing screws.

Hahaha, u have no fact. You are full with animosity. I have seen a lot of road mechanics. The kind of machines or equipment I am expose to don't have a dine of knowledge of them.

There are some cars they can't work on.
When I talk, they listen attentively.

When I want to start my own company, I will have it in big way. I do professional home services for the rich at my own leisure time.
people like you can't service or repairs their cars I where I work because you are clouded with poor mentality. Your expressions are full with animosity.
I have worked with top government functionaries young man.

Let me just mention a few here, Elizade Motors, Coshari, Larrel Shittu Motors, Kojo Motors etc. You can't service your car in any of the above. You don't even have a car. The company has five branches in Nigeria and I am in the Abuja branch.
Go and do research about Toyota Motor Corporation divisions in Nigeria

When I was in school then, one of my lecturers who took us "Synopsis of Motor Vehicle Technology", I used to rate that he was very intelligent then. it was when I got into the field I knew He knows nothing about vehicles but only the theory.

I can't make use of his textbook again because it is rubbish to me. Nothing inside except theory and the theory is lacking not in details.

You don't get it do you? Tell us what Nigeria mech engrs have created or designed. What exactly? And don't tell me about tightening nuts & bolts in faulty machineries [of the cassava milling factory you're working for undecided ]
.

Thanks young man. There is nothing like "faulty Machineries" but "Faulty Machinery". It is an uncountable now like information (not informations), aircraft (not aircrafts), sheep (not sheeps), equipment (not equipments) etc.

First, I don't work in a cassava milling factory. even though I am working there with a good pay in the recession, thanks to God for the provision of that. Garri is too expensive in this recession now. so, cassava milling factories in this country are making it big with more profit.


I am working with one of Toyota Motor Corporation divisions in Nigeria. We are affiliated to Toyota Motor Corporation, Japan. We deal on all Toyota vehicles including Lexus. Sometimes, we assemble here in Nigeria at the workshop. I work under AC with a demarcated transparent glass , the other side of it we have plasma and the customer lounge.

I hardly use spanners for loosening and tightening bolts and nuts. We use a tyre gum for that which is also known as Rotary Machine.

To tell you the truth, Nigerian system of education in the university level is just crappy and won't add any skill for you. It's just a total waste of time unless you are innovative & can think outside the box.

Call an electrical engineering graduate to do some simple alternating wiring and he will burn down your house undecided but call a simple electrician for the job & he will do a neat work.

U mentioned that mech engrs create design & optimize...well I am yet to see a made in Nigeria car, unless am living in pluto, nothing tangible have come from our mech engineers.

Or shall I talk of the botanists that doesn't even know the name of species of plant from just one genus.

What of our electronic engrs, the road side phone and computer repairs are far better than them. They only know how to carry files up and down.

Seriously do you want me to go on? The only thing you know is: where is 201, 302, 411 lectures holding? & you will run like a goat on heat to grab the front seat & at least get D in the course undecided

Nigeria university education system is just wack...graduate and follow others in file carrying.
For now young man, we don't have system in place for that but they create design and optimized not only cars but other mechanical systems. Mechanical engineering is not limited to cars only.

Does Nigerian government have a plant to manufacture cars? The answer is "NO!"

EducationRe: Do U Feel That Ur University Degree Is A Waste Of Time And Why by EdoBoy90(m):
According to Wikipedia, mechanical engineering is the design, analysis,manufacturing , and maintenance of mechanical systems . It is the branch of engineering that involves the design, production, and operation of machinery . It is one of the oldest and broadest of the engineering discipline.

From the definition, mechanical engineering works encompasses a lot of area. So, it is not to build or design cars. We have the automobile engineering and motor vehicle technology disciplines to deal with that. Mechanical Engineers are still involved in the manufacturing process of vehicles.

let me use the word "Vehicles" here instead of cars because vehicles encompass land vehicles. sea vehicles, space vehicles, water vehicles etc.

Mechanical engineering deals with the design, production, manufacturing, and maintenance of devices or structures or mechanical systems. Mechanical engineering is inter discipline field in engineering that is mechanical engineer should in different areas. Unfortunately, our curriculum doesn't involved such just the theoretical aspect which is not applicable in the 21st century industries.

As a mechanical engineer, the first thing he or she should know is how to use spanner to work ICEs that internal combustion engines but it is disheartening that many Nigerian graduates who studied mechanical engineering don't know this because of our "obsolete curriculum" that is archaic in a advanced country.

let me come home now, I studied mechanical engineering from Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, Edo Sate. When I was in school the I used to go for the practical during holidays or at leisure time. Then people while laughing at me but today to the glory of God, I am happy. To crown it all, I did my industrial training with one of Toyota Motor Corporation divisions in Nigeria (name withheld for security reasons).

During my industrial training, I was exposed to a lot of machines, equipment etc. I was diligent to learn with them. These machines or equipment were not in my School or you can never found them in any Nigerian best institution. To my knowledge, UI doesn't have them.

During my service year, in our Skills Acquisition Entrepreneurship Development (SAED) I encountered a lot of graduates there, they have nothing to offer. When I talked, they would ask me bros, "where did you learn all these from? " I would just laugh and shocked my head.


Finally, my B.Eng in mechanical engineering is not a waste and can never be a waste because the degree + knowledge+ practicals + theories have skyrocketed me beyond my imagination.

My advice to under graduates and graduates out there who studied/still studying mechanical engineering, learn from the scratch that is from those out there who you think they are nobody. That will set you above the roadside mechanics out there.

Budgeting is a process of compiling data from multiple sources and verifying the data. You don't need an economist to do this. Anyone who thinks like the house does simply hasn't had a good education. Why appoint Obama a lawyer over a complex economy like the US?

The objective of education is allowing you to have a logical thought process. Budgeting or even running a country does not require function specific skill sets. These guys have people to do function specific tasks.

Don't limit yourself.

Even if you have a degree in English you can run IBM Budgeting and by the way anyone who sits on as many corporate boards as Udoma does, can read a corporate balance sheet. A national balance sheet simply has more zeros. Process is the same.

The only reason the house is beefing him is because he was formerly in the PDP. When they passed him as fit to be a minister, were they drunk?
. I totally disagree with you vehemently.

As an Engineer so I become the Minister of Finance is that what you are evaluating in your logical and obsolete thought. Is that the excess of education?

So, is it because you studied Law , for example, you might be good in Engineering. Even in our various disciplines we have specific area of specialization.

A professor in Mechanical Engineering doesn't know all in Mechanical Engineering. He/she must specialized in one areas. The same thing is applicable to Lawyers and politicians and even everyone.

Sen. Udo Udoma is a jack of all trades and master of none. He is a monumental failure. He is incompetent and a waste to his generation.

Those who accused others for plagiarism are the ones that plagiarise most.

so if someone else post something here is plagiarising here again.

plagiarism is used in the academic field. Here is a social site or social network platform.

If I am writing a textbook, I know the gravity of plagiarism in the academic field. I am not writing a textbook here and someone is accusing me of plagiarism because he is Mr. Chairman or Mr President. Our Mr. president is in US . Because He has the final say here.

In social sites, you can't accuse someone of plagiarism because such have not happened in Facebook owes by Mark Zuckerberg, the sixth richest man in the world.

Some Nigerians are too idle in mentality. Mark Zuckerberg doesn't have that time to accuse someone of plagiarism on Facebook because someone posted a piece.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)
In automobile, the ABS is an anti-lock braking system or anti-skid braking system which is designed to help drivers maintain some steering stability (or retain steering control) and avoid skidding while braking. Succinctly, ABS is a life safety technology in a vehicle while braking heavily. It prevents the tyres from locking up (stop rotating) when the brakes are applied ( in most cases) suddenly and hard.

BENEFITS OF ABS TO DRIVERS
(1) A vehicle suddenly veers in front of you, forcing you to brake and swerve.
(2) An animal jumps into the road and you must brake and steer to avoid it.
(3) Bad weather makes the road slippery, making wheels lock more likely when you must brake to stop.

FUNCTIONS OF ABS IN CARS
(1) It prevents a vehicle from skidding
(2) It prevents the wheels from locking up during an episode of heavy braking.
(3) It is a life safety technology
(4) It also prevents the tyres from locking up (stop rotating.
