Williamso:


I will not do that! Feel free to apply to only the 9 schools. Seems you're more after a school's reputation than the curriculum it has to offer. Good luck in your admissions.

And yes! The difference in quality is much. Schools outside the TU9 are more or less glorified secondary schools. I would reckon you go to AUN or Covenant, or even North American University than go to any school outside TU9.

Ok. €8090 was transferred to my Blocked Account on friday. I submitted on the 4th.

Fidelity Bank, Head office.

NB: Speed may depend on Branch, completeness of documentation, forex availability etc.

Good luck.

1. Most new facilities have Gas Utilization Systems in their concepts and designs. They are powered by turbines, with redundancy in power generation systems, even with Diesel Generators. For some old facilities, where possible, they make modifications and introduce gas utilization systems too. So, you can easily work in this area. However,for some facilities/Oil companies you have to come in as a contract staff as these power packages/modules/trains are handled by consultants/contractors with their staff always on board the facilities 24/7. Companies like Siemens, Phillips, GE and Rolls-Royce make these engines and have their guys on board operating and maintaining these equipment. Their focus is strictly on generating the power.

2. Oil and gas facilities run electricity 24/7. Both on the process areas and within the accommodation modules. The network of electrical systems and components require maintenance, inspections, testing, repairs and modifications (where necessary). The maintenance crew usually have electrical engineers who handle a lot in this part. So, within the electrical, instrumentation and control aspects of operations, your skills and knowledge will be of great benefits and you can work with this team.

3. Within the oil companies also, you can work with a project team to make design calculations, design decisions etc. on the power train for facilities on various fields. You will properly look at concepts based on the general concept philosophy and choose a system/design that best suits that facility based on the philosophy of the particular project and it's requirements. In the Department of Petroleum Resources for instance there is an Engineering and Standards Division. They are involved in approving engineering designs for oil companies based on stipulated Nigerian oil and gas regulations as enforced by the DPR. And they even witness construction and do factory acceptance tests on oil and gas components both home and abroad.

4. On a lighter scale you wan work within the Safety Engineering Unit (especially in a company like Total that sensibly separates safety engineering from general HSE admin.). The general HSE guys do work permit stuff, accident reporting and all that. I am not saying they are not important. However, the Safety Engineering guys take it up very many notches. They work on equipment design and modifications based on pre-established safety concepts. Whenever a modification, upgrade or new equipment is being planned, they participate in the quantitative risk assessment. In Shell, they have a loss prevention team too that does stuff similar to this. This safety engineering team is usually made up of many manner of Engineers required in the oil and gas industry e.g Process,Structural/Civil, Electrical, Chemical, Mechanical,Instrumentation, Petroleum and Safety Engineers. You can easily fit in here.

The first scenario is however, your place of best fit.

I honestly think you guys should let the lady be, mocking those who give accounts of the opposite side is not good for the health of the thread.

Question1:


You've. got a brilliant GPA too.. Are u also a GRE aspirant?
Yes I converted already.... I only have my level 100-300 level result ready.. Like I said i 'd finish next year April... I hope for to finish well and strong as I really want to skip my MSC and do my PhD in Economic or international Economic.. I already have most of the Gre materials ad almost done with Barron quantitative , with my everyday preparation I want to write June ...Pls advice me as I'm considering Kansas State University with funding ....So help me God.....Advice me BIKO

kilo4sure:

If they are yet to reply you by this time, then you have to send a mail across. Last year they only sent mail to those accepted, and when someone still waiting sent a mail to them he was told he isn't among the chosen ones, so send a mail requesting for the status of your admission.
All The Best.

Eke40seven:

Oh great!! I didn't know they have changed their off campus rules. In that case, their work permit is just as par with Germany and given the fact that there is no language barrier, once stands a better chance of getting better and less laborious work. Am I right?
Is it possible for one to also fund ones school fees, feeding, housing and other expenses solely from the money made working?

I will like to get your inputs..

there is a thread for Canadian student visa
go there and ask
enough of this Canadian this and that
if u go to Germany with two mind u will find it difficult taking this the way there are cos u will always think that Canada would have been better.
make your decision. ,even Canada is not bed of roses

bolasie:


Its inevitable. SAIT makes it compulsory.

The evaluation might be through WES. They have all the details on there website.

Hope this helps.

lobito007:
Hi Guys. I'm applying to SAIT for the applied degree in Petroleum Engineering. As touching transcript, is it avoidable to have my transcript assessed? How recognized is this cert outside ca? Do grads of this programme get hired by the likes of Total, Exxon and Shell?

Eke40seven:

In my opinion, it depends on what you want.
Study wise, Germany have arguably the best package for international students, great schools, ridiculously cheap transportation and housing arrangements for students, wonderful health insurance package (if you are under 30), by far better work/study permit than Canada.
However, the only advantage Canada will have over Germany is the non language barrier. Nothing else.
If you can deal with that and the challenges that it comes with then you are good to go.

If you have the cash and won't mind the great limitations Canada places on international students to work while studying and probably are sure of getting that amount every year from home without hassles then Canada will be easier for integration purposes because of the language. But your Canadian course though, Rural Dev. how you take find am?
Canada and Germany's post study stay incentives are fairly at par.
You see I didn't mention Luxembourg. That's a business country, quite rich and expensive. I don't know anything about their package for international student, so I can't comment knowledgeably.

DiBoss:


Ur opinion sir! But in my own opinion, Canada is the best place for any prospective immigrant!

DiBoss:



Bro, pursue Canada with light, candle and anointing oil Canada is the way forward! Luxembourg run far from that country it's ridiculously expensive.

Funny enough Schwartz is a woman, people always assume I am male. I cooked vegetables soup toady will you like to eat?

Download and use the one of national visa from their site. I emailed them and they said so.

Cephas0009:


Ehya Sorry about that... I got admission to SDSM&T and SIT both 4 MS Mechanical Engineering. I applied to just 3schools anyways. However, the both admission had no funding or assistantship attached to it. Major reason is dat their assistantship are reserved primarily for PhD students. I did contact faculty members b4 n after my admission n der reasons were either paucity of funds or preference 4 phd. I intend to defer d admission and in the process continue to speak with faculty members while applying to other schools too. I might also consider applying 4 phd too since SirRiddy highlighting dat 1 can get admit 4 phd n run away after msc (lol, dey think dey are smart abi )...

I will also like to thank SirRiddy 4 his selfless contributions in dis group. I remember wen I stumble @ dis thread about dis time last year, he was my 1st point of contact, m happy for what he's achieved.

N oga lobito007 thanks 4 always keeping in touch, thanks to all dos that we communicate on whatsapp n via mails. N to everyone here 4 ur comments n contributions, like sirRiddy n oga DanjaNinja we'll have our stories to tell pretty soon.

Have u tried watching d Magoosh videos?

@nineteenth, people make sacrifices for their dreams. The prospects of having a better life as a graduate of a German university is high. What is 90k and danfo? If you have been earning 90k for 3yrs now ,I can boldly tell you that the value of your salary is now around 45k. The things you could buy for 20k last 2yrs will cost around 40k nw.

For some this German dream is just a " let me try thing" for others it's a major step to their futures. If it is worth it or not is based on your vision. For people who have a strong plan, quitting a job or selling a property is a must pay price. You would be amazed if you know what many have done to raise blocked account cash. I know a guy who was working for a petroleum company and earning well. Before he got his job he had this German dream, so he worked and saved for 3yrs. After 3yrs, he quitted his relatively high paying job and left for Germany( many would never try that).Today, He is not regretting it one bit.

I will never make a decision for you. Weigh your options, analyse and decide.
Since you have an admission, you are one leg in.

YOU ARE A MAN. MAKE YOUR DECISION AND BE RESONSIBLE FOR YOUR ACTIONS.

Team Winter.

Schwartz:

which other light do you need again nitori oloun eh?! you have a job paying you 90K per month and a bus bringing in money too. you want to live all that to do student mini Jobs here? eh taking care of dogs, cats, washing plates, cleaning, factory hand, baby sitter, etc Kai!! How fluent are you in German? That's the first step? there is rising incidences of people jumping in front of moving trains out of frustration. Nowhere is perfect!

You are one of the gurus in the house, I respect a lot. Ohio is good. We are still expecting you.

OP, what would you say about the prospects of Msc in Mech eng in Ohio, and the US generally. How true is the gist that mech engrs hardly get jobs in the US?

why not ask what trick am talking about? Well this bidding process if not properly monitored can come and pass without the person doing it for u knows it. The window opens once every week. Precisely on Wednesdays or Thursdays so when next u visit ur branch beg them to monitor it for u. End of discussion
