Drogbotel:


That's a good one. Let's hear from you. Enlighten the house what Production really entail outside the walls of classrooms. Thanks.

ok

outside the real world production aspect of engineering can be seen everywhere and everyday unlike plant

for example if you visit a foundry shop or a crankshaft industry you'll see things yourself

I choose production because it gives you room for self development and entrepreneurship in your field
for example if you really studied well like me (not boasting oo)
you can easily design construct and mass produce mechanical fasteners easily with your CNC
all you need is just a workshop and a CNC machine and boom you're now a production company

again in foundry field which is a multi million naira field
many people that knows what's up are taping into it
you wonder where those metal scrap picking guys deposit their scrap metals?
yes it's in foundry shops
they will melt it down cast it into billets and resell to steel producing companies
many opportunities in production aspects of mechanical engineering i can't write down
Just a clue

No mentally sound individual should be bragging about schools and courses studied in Nigeria tertiary institutions, because these are apparently not working here in Nigeria again.
You can brag about the strong connections u have which seems to be the only solution in our hijacked country

I represent university of uyo, 2017 . Currently serving.. No work experience yet.....anybody attending AGM at Kano here?

Hello I'm Ochuko, the name itself should tell you the location I come from. If you really wish to know, PM me and i would tell you. I'm an ND mechanical engineering students. I've stop school and am not going to further my education here in Nigeria anymore. Too much of payment in sch, making sch difficult for people. Unlike the North where everything is easier. May while, I challenge all of the above persons & those below graduate of Mechanical engineering, that most of you don't even have clue about engines. Most of you guys didn't go through the sch, the sch go through most of you. If you're bold enough, quote me and let delibrate on engine problems and your best course ever. Thanks!

This is uncalled for, you have just displayed some level of ignorance mechanical engineering is wider than you think

ariesbull:
Stupid thread...mechanical engineers that can't dismount an engine not to talk of coupling it back

Nigerian engineers are the most stupid on earth

Obviously you don't even know who an engineer is

Can't say my name though.....

B.Eng Mechanical Engineering. Igbinedion University Okada
M.Eng Mechanical Engineering. University of Lagos...

And I'm Atikulating and Obiligating....

Blyzz:
what is made of Pushing rod? That's, what material can be use to produce pushing rod in the production industry. We nor dey ask big question. WhatsApp group would have be better.

ok pushing rods are mainly made of high speed steel due to the high temperature it's subjected to
high speed steel contains more carbon and less ductility so when subjected to high temperature the mechanical structure won't be affected

also it can be coated with chromium to avoid rust but in some cases especially in oil areas the oil takes care of rust

hope i attempted your question

Who be this.

Please mechanic engineers let us take this one to foundry furnace for some heat work then do some Lathe machine tuning to reset his brain reasoning

he thinks it's all about engine

Yes I know, but you should understand my contest is base on mechanical engines & not in the production sectors.

Sapele people with wahala.... why you dey do challenge for Engine bro... instead make we pray and work to make Nigeria better so that everyone go see his/her path, you wan challenge... na wa o... Only God know how you go do your apprentice if you get...

And Engineering is not about engines alone, even the self same mechanical engineering....

montumonami:
very unprofessional

Okay, mechanical engines only. I should pinpoint that for the sake of others who want to quote me.

For those shouting mechanical engineer that cannot dismantle engine.

Those are ignorant of Mechnical engineering.

Mechanical engineering is a general NAME with many branches and options
Auto
Manufacturing and design
Aircon
Maintenance e.t.c

Ok, you got it. Hope you're not copying from search engine. May while, list some areas of an engine parts that required bimetallic construction. That high speed steel is confusing, later I would do research on that.

I'm tired of explaining this to them

i have basic knowledge of internal combustion engine but expert in production both practically and theoretically

don't mind the Ignorant ones

oga my reply looks like someone using search engine?

as for hss (high speed steel) read more on that also read more on tungsten

Lol, sorry was only trying to clarify something. It all an avenue for learning. I like challenges so much, especially in areas like this, where the brain do the thinking and solving. May while I'm not from Sapele, but we're all from same clan. The Urhobo clan. I pray for 9ja everyday, if he go better, he go surelyr better. Bravo Zulu!

Some of my input may be controversial but I think at least some bits will surely be helpful.

1. If your goal is to become a professional engineer (in Nigeria COREN, in the UK Chartered C.Eng, in the US P.Eng) my advice is to grab the UK spec online, link below

https://www.engc.org.uk/engcdocuments/internet/website/UK-SPEC%20third%20edition%20(1).pdf

Review this document and understand the requirements for each tier of professional registration. I am sure this will be beneficial even if you are applying for COREN or P.Eng. with this you will know what you need to be doing to be eligible for what you want to do.

2. If you are able to take on a post graduate course in mechanical or another discipline relevant to your aspirations then do it now, while you're still fresh from the rigours of uni life. My advice here is if you are unable to do a master's degree in a better university than where you did your B.Eng, then don't do it yet. Wait!

3. Polish your soft skills. This advice is more for those who studied in Nigeria and have lived in Nigeria all their lives but would like to gain international exposure for career development. I have met many Nigerian kids where this has presented a bigger problem then their ability.

4. Basic knowledge of using CAD, understanding Primavera, advanced excel etc is helpful but not critical. What's more important is your adaptability and ability to learn quickly on the job. Understanding interrogating a database from novice level today to super user in a matter of days or maybe a couple of weeks depending on complexity. Now that's boss!

5. Finally, not everyone who graduates in Mech Eng will become an engineer. I reckon 70% will never have a role in mechanical. Some will go into project management, research, project planning, project controls, etc etc it's not a sign of failure. It's just the way it is. You could still do excellently well outside of being a professional mechanical engineer.

Good luck to all my Engineering brother's/sisters out there.

I hail my fellow Corrosives.

A good read. Thank you.

oga start from somewhere oo
no course guarantees you immediate job especially in Nigeria

what's your field in Mec Engr?
production, plant abi auto, etc? which one?
maybe I'll render some start up advice to you

I studied production so I'm versatile in the section and can give career advise on it

Thanks for the words!
career advice on production will be appreciated.

post=72097322:
Thumbs up to the Mechanical Engineers in the house.

#RESPECT to you guys!

It is not easy!

Just like it is not easy to be Barbecuelogist.

i love dz...great NIMECHE...but i think WhatsApp group would be good...

I have been reading your comments and I laugh

First this Trend is for mechanical engineers and graduates ...students can be allowed

But you dont fall into any of this category

What your studied is "mechanical engineering technology "

It's way different from mechanical engineering... If you don't know the difference google is your friend

You are like a nurse engineers are like doctors... Hope you get that

Now run along

Engryagulam:


Thanks for the words!
career advice on production will be appreciated.

what are you good practically in production?
machining, foundry, CAD, CAM, fluid mechanics, etc
you can make career off these

where are you really good at

Graduated from Lagos state university, Industrial relation and personnel management, I do mechanical engineering job in Oil and Gas sector. Also have offshore and onshore experience...
I'm permitted here?

This is uncouth.

What challenges are you talking about? The thread was opened probably to share ideas, now you are talking as if you know it all. PELE !!!
Is Mechanical Engineering about engines alone? You are one of those unintelligent Polytechnic graduates that gives the opportunity for the University counterparts to be insulting you. Coming here and committing grammatical blunders.... You need Sensilin my brother..

Hi Good Morning,

I studied Mech Engr, 2012. However, following a twist of events, I'm in HR.

I can say, its being wonderful, planning to do certifications in HR. Although, I haven't completely abandoned my First Love, Mechanical Engineering.
