homerac7:Sir, I would like to study this course (Bsc) but I'm not that good in chemistry. Am I good to go? |

SmellMyFart: Bro, polish up your chemistry and join us soonest. You can't run away from Chemistry in this profession. If not earlier, it will be later when your chemistry Achille's heel might catch up with you. Eng'g na ashewo course because it will in course of time take you round all sort of other disciplines, including Law and Mgt Sciences. Good luck |
Re: Mechanical Engineers Forum by Nobody: 1:34pm On Oct 07, 2014 |
homerac7:thanks for this. . Please what are the challenging areas of this course? I hear some people say calculus is the hardest. |
Re: Mechanical Engineers Forum by homerac7: 2:48pm On Oct 07, 2014 |
SmellMyFart: The only major challenge in studying engineering is learning to get your lazy a.rse down early enough in the semester and start studying properly ahead. If you can do that, all other issues can be taken care of. |
Re: Mechanical Engineers Forum by Nobody: 2:56pm On Oct 07, 2014 |
homerac7:alright. Will have that in mind. Thanks a lot |

Tiimmy: Nice to read from a fellow piping engineer. This is an area that is not well pronounced among upcoming engineers. I blame this partly on the inadequate information on this field right from undergraduate study. It is interesting to know that one get good grasp of design when involved in piping engineering or pressure vessel task. 1 Like |

TO KEEP THE BRAIN WORKING PERFECTLY WE MUST BE INTERESTED IN WRITING ARTICLES FOR JOURNAL PUBLICATION, WE CAN COME UP WITH A TOPIC OF INTEREST AND WORK ON IT....WE CAN WORK ON DESIGN OF HEAT EXCHANGER, EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON WELDED JOINT,EFFECT OF PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE ON PRODUCTION LINE, ACCIDENT PREVENTION IN A COAL MINE, MANY OTHERS,....STARTING SOMETHING NEW IS PAINFUL, BUT THE REGRET OF NEVER HAVING STARTED IS A LOT MORE PAINFUL(3 TO 4 PERSONS CAN TEAM UP AND WRITE AN ARTICLE FOR PUBLICATION TO REDUCE COST, I CONFESS IT PAYS TO TRADE IN THAT LINE) 1 Like |

Tiimmy:Hello. I'd like to know if a person without a first degree in Engineering (but probably with a Master's) can be registered as an Engineer with COREN. Thanks in advance. |

Re: Mechanical Engineers Forum by Tiimmy(m): 7:11am On Dec 04, 2014 |
Ehimenboy: First off, I don't see how a person without a 1st degree in an Engineering related course, will be admitted (in any institution world wide) for a Masters degree program in Engineering. That being said, COREN is no more singled out (as it was some years ago). Now you have to be a member of Nigerian Society of Engineers for a period before proceeding with COREN. NSE however is a function of your 1st degree in an Engineering Field. So, I really don't see how you can be COREN registered without a 1st degree in Engineering.. This is just my humble opinion; try and do more research. http://timmsvillee..com/ |
Re: Mechanical Engineers Forum by Tiimmy(m): 7:47am On Dec 04, 2014 |
shyna01: Bro, An Engineer role is very much different from a "Designer" role. Hence your proficiency in any CAD package doesn't necessarily qualify you for an "Engineer" position. There is a whole lot of analysis, design calculations, use of industrial codes & standards and lots more, for an Engineer compared with the high dependence on CAD softwares for a "Designer". Engineers also use software packages, but its mostly for Engineering analysis and not modelling. This means that a Pipeline Engineer is very much different from a pipeline designer. Secondly there is lot of difference in job description and responsibility matrix between a Pipeline Engineer and a Piping Engineer. Do some research about these two fields and you should be fine. To answer your question, for an Engineer role, a lot is dependent on Experience and not proficiency in CAD packages. So you'll need to start from the scratch i.e an intern or trainee engineer position. No short course, BSc. ,MSc. or PHD will better prepare you for an Engineer position than an intern or trainee position. However, your proficiency in CAD packages (with or without experience) qualifies your for a CAD designer position in most companies. I hope you find my opinions very useful. Cheers. http://timmsvillee..com/ |

Tiimmy:. thanks very much for the clarifications made. if I where to go for masters degree, which area(s) would u advice me to specialize in as most universities just do production, manufacturing, materials, corrosion amongst others? |
Re: Mechanical Engineers Forum by olujastro: 3:18pm On Dec 06, 2014 |
A mech engr. Graduated Dec, 2011. Fell in love with Power plant eng during my undergraduate days, but found myself in d oil n gas sector as an Offshore assets engr (where job hunting first paid off). If God wills, may further in thermal power. I advice undergrad beginners to tk all preliminary engineering courses in year 2 (thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, strength of materials, engineering mechanics, etc) most seriously as they give u a major background n head start for years 3,4 n 5. With a rudimentary understanding of it, eng thermodynamics is pretty easy, though most feared. 1 Like |

Re: Mechanical Engineers Forum by Tiimmy(m): 7:23am On Dec 08, 2014 |
shyna01: That most universities offer courses in Production, Manufacturing & Corrosion is just not true. Except you are strictly referring to Nigerian Universities (and they offer more courses than you listed). My advice for you or anyone with regards a favorable choice for MSc. would be to first of all know your interest as well as where your strength lies (especially for people without any working experience). Those with reasonable working experience can easily go for an MSc. in their working field, with little or no consideration with regards to interest or strength. As interesting as some of these courses sounds (Subsea Engineering, Pipeline Engineering, Offshore & Ocean Tech etc) they are simply not for the faint hearted. Interest & strenghth will be needed to see these courses through. So research more sir, and choose with respect to your interest & strength. All the best.. http://timmsvillee..com/ |

Re: Mechanical Engineers Forum by iyisco2001(m): 5:59pm On Jan 10, 2015 |
deewon56:Be serious with your first degree, visit an automobile/mechanic workshop nearby and learn there even if you have to pay. Get your IT done at autonedics or any auto training school to perfect yourself. You are good to go. Make sure you aren't deceiving yourself. |

Happy new year to all the Engineers and aspirants. I have been following this trend for a while now. Please I need help. Am a final year student of mechanical engineering @ one of the federal university of science and technology. For while now I have been gathering ideas on project topics but uptil this moment I have not been able to arrive at any topic. Please I will gladly appreciate any suggestions (that's project topics) from anyone. Am slightly above average student and believe that I can learn and work on anything no matter how hard it seems to be. I will also welcome and appreciate any advice regarding final year in mechanical engineering. Thank you all. |
