PrinceMario:
How on earth will someone be comparing Mechanical engineering to Mathematics? it's an abuse on the freedom of speech. How many job vacancy have you come across that ask for BSC mathematics. An engineering graduate will adequately function wherever a math graduate is required, be it in the tax/Audit/finance firm and even banks. but same can't be said of a math graduate performing the responsibility of an engineer. Don't be deceived by the gullible who said maths is more prestigious abroad than engineering, or you'd turn a engineer abroad with a degree in mathematics,its a big lie from the pit of hell...who does that? Engineering is so broad that they can function anywhere and compete with maths graduate for there space but a mathematics graduate can compete with an engineering major in an engineering firm.
I'll advice you switch, if you can.

My two cents.

TimothyNkenu:

Congrats on your making FP

airlord2020:
My young chap, my advice to you is to make sure you come out with good grades. I believe you have passion for mathematics that's why you went for it. Having more prospects is another ball game. There are so many graduates out there and what makes you stand out is your grade. If you do poorly you may not even have the opportunity to prove yourself. If you are also interested in engineering you can do a diploma and upgrade yourself then you will have too degrees. My to cents though.

Durentt:
calculator123 are u seeing dis? Hear it by urself

calculator123:
to think that coming frm an engineer.

Durentt:
ignorant fellow, ur comment stinks of ignorance.
U deserve a life ban in education sect for typin dis

You do realize that discrete math is sophomore(2nd year) level math? I dare you to challenge any advanced math undergraduate in functional analysis, topology, grad-level PDEs. You M.engineers have a very shallow view of what Mathematics is! There is more to Mathematics than Calculus and Ordinary Differential equations.

Apart from Numerical Engineering Analysis, Finite Element method was founded by Alexander Hrennikoff, a Russian-Canadian Structural Engineer. He graduated from the Institute of Railway Engineering in Moscow, received M.A.Sc. degree from the University of British Columbia (1933), and D.Sc degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1941). From 1933 until his death in 1984 he worked as a professor of Civil Engineeri


ng at the University of British Columbia.

Workshop practice? what Engineering school still offer such an archaic course

I also apologize. Bro, after going through your profile, I just realised that you are still a fresh engineering graduate, and not yet an engineer. All the best in your endeavours.

greatsodade:


Which maths did they offer now...besides u are the one that need them nt d other way around...anyway all things work for the good of the whole sha bro.

MyFlair:
Mr man say wht u knw, discrete math is also taught at Msc level.

saxywale:
I have two degrees, bsc Engineering and MSc engineering. if I was to do it again, I would study maths. Only that the proofs are too rigorous.
Maths or physics doesn't box you to a corner like engineering does.

Engrpj:


That is to show you how broad Engineering is my brother. no need to argue over this issue...

ChinonsoDike2:


Say what I know? Simpleton. Lol! Maybe in Nigeria, where the education is behind. Here in the US, sophomores in college take discrete math. At the Msc level, your main classes are Analysis using big Rudin and Abstract Algebra, Grad level Numerical analysis and probability(if applied math), Algebraic topology, differential geometry, e.t.c. I've never seen an Msc catalog for Mathematics in the US that had discrete math. Never!

what is this one saying sef??
You can work as an engineer with a mathematics degree..
Oga is it with COREN??

einsteino:
First and foremost, there is vurtually no job in the country. But whatever job opportunity exist for a maths grad can be filled in by an engr grad. Unfortunately the same can not be said about a maths grad filling up an engr position.

I am a civil engr with 2yrs post nysc experience, so I am not just blabbing. Even more my younger bro was studying maths, I advised him to retake jamb. Today he is studying elect engr.

Dont get me wrong, there are engrs out there without jobs and are starving but it still remains a better option han maths. Except you aint talking about Nigeria

All those talk about research position is almost non existent in Nigeria without connect or a first class. Also engineers do a whole lot of research too.. But like I said, research in Nigeria is mere formality. If u are interested in research better leave to a country like canada or u.s

Engrpj:



If Mechanical Engineers Offer Mathematics courses from year 1-4, out of their 5 years of studies, Can you tell me how many Mechanical Engineering courses you offered in your 4 years of studies

Jamariwolff:
permit me to ask oo.
What level was he in when you told him to write jamb again?
Why didn't he just transfer.

I'm asking bcuz it takes a great deal of courage to start afresh in the university after spending some years.

einsteino:



Wheew you mentioned a post from a long time ago.

Well he was going to 200 level when he started afresh. He had spent two years already because he got admitted via a Pre Degree. He applied for a transfer but was told there was simply no space. Luckily he got into another school for his choice course via post UTME.

I think if you are certain you could get a decent grade and you would be much younger than the age barred from a couple of choice jobs, then you should continue with your course of study if you are almost done.
