As in...the bro just wanna downgrade the course..wey Nanotechnology dey hot presently...

Yes o

SchoolZinicc:


Yeah, it's very useless in Nigeria at the moment, especially when Ajokuta is shut down completely and the few remaining small scale steel manufacturing factories rely on scraps an works with foreigners with Nigerian unskilled labourers whom they pay peanuts for the dirty part of the job as field worker.


Outside that who else employs a material engr. in Naija?

Wow...
Hv been observing from the first page...
Really thought you have a good and substantial reason for your assertion.
But seems you re one of those who who talk with that their Secondary schl reasoning for instance whn you were in sec schl they made you blive that a mech engr build car only or can only work in automobile industries...
Civil only build houses such and so on.
But no one will actually criticize your thinking at those levels.

It now calls for serious attention to see an higher institution student having the same mentality.. It's really disheartening and no parent will actually be proud of such student.But there is actually no sin in keeping quiet whn you dont know sth rather than be proving to pple that your re really stupid by spitting out nonsense.
Materials science and Engineering students
are needed in any production industries even in this poor country lemme list just a few of where you likely to meet them in this same country you are referring to;
1 Oil and gas industries:Corrosion monitoring and Maintenance
2 Mining and geotechnics:they work there
3 Construction sites: they are there
4 Offshore drilling:hydrometallurgy or under water welding it's what they do.
5Mechanical Testing factories:For quality assurance
6Medical Fields:Bio-implantation,using Biomaterials,
6 Electrical/electronics industries: use of smart materials in smart/advanced technologies.

So, just go and do your research and convince yourself....
We don't argue to win only a kid does that

Thank you very much for the deeper and kind words. He is actually interested in playing Basketball of which he has started some kind of practice ; I even went further to buy him a basketball that worth seven thousand five hundred naira early this year. ; because I noticed his high interest in the game.Though, he is a science student.

Basketball? That's fantastic and you got him a ball, you're motivating him. There's even coaching aspect, kinesiology. There's a lot of science in the course too (Anatomy, physiology and others).
If he decides to further his studies outside the country, it's going to be worth it. Keep encouraging him.

Fantastic bro...
Just go through the post and read my reply...He has zero knowledge about MSE...I am a 300level student of materials science and engineering and I am really enjoying the course(in a Nigeria standard)..
MSE is one of the best engineering course presently because of the emergence of advance materials to enhance our technology...
without materials,we have no life. Every branch of engineering need materials to function properly and effectively...I think that guy is an art student.... let's forgive him abeg...
Many EEE and MEE graduates are now coming to my department to run masters in corrosion engineering and nanotechnology....very lucrative field I must say ...MSE is not about metals only

Very pathetic mehn....law is competitive to get but the outcome is bad in Nigeria.

Thank so much for giving us your time and knowledge. God will reward you abundantly IJN. Hoping to keep you updated ; but how? I don't know, because I wouldn't like our future discussions to be public.

please op don't insult my course...Sociology shouldn't be among this list.And by the way...Abi Nigeria send all these things...na connection oooo and grace

yusman14:
I can see that you know nothing about the course..
Materials engineering encompasses metallurgical engineering...
We don't only work on metals...we have different materials presently...polymers,ceramics industries are also there.....and we have alot of composites and plastic industries in Nigeria....
Make your research....it is materials engineering not metallurgical engineering as it was called before..

Please I don't what to dwell in this argument for long..

There are very few(may be 3) raw materials development factories with complete research facility and pure raw material conversation to real consumable products..

Sadly, they all have white men as main engineers.

Be it in steel, plastic or ceramic, all raw materials extracted from Nigeria ends up in a ship to China, Europe and the America, then return to Nigeria a finished product or pellets or even powder for ceramics..

Talking about positions in oil company, are you guys kidding me?

Every damn thing they do as regards oil exploration has been installed systematically, even when real knowledge is required, there is always a white man taking up the space of Nigerian engineers in those areas..


Yes, I speak from a complete knowledge grounds.

Let me tell you something:

This is not to discourage you in any way my brother.

The course is a fantastic course, it consist of the core rudiments when it comes to creating life out of anything solid, be it metal, plastic, ceramic etc..

But in Nigeria setting, the course is like a beautiful bride without a groom.

I studied MME in ESUT, graduate of 2006 with so much enthusiasm.

I did my Industrial Attachment with PRODA, a reputable agency with pedigree then, I'm not sure now, because they have relented to Mechanical and electrical stuff nowadays.



Never would you see any job website request the service of a Material Engr, yes you can get a job, but mostly job reserved for all engineers..

No company requires such background service, because all the research and the real background work which is what the course is mostly for has all been taken away to other countries.

Let me stop here shaa..

In few years u will understand me better.

All this industries you just mentioned right here all work with finished raw material with a calliberated system that supports only the services of even unskilled person's to operate.

They hardly employ a Material Engineer there, highest the employ a mechanical engineer who will oversee the day to day health of those machines with an already made manual and duty guide and an electrical engineer who will ensure that all electrical and electronics protocols are being observed to keep production afloat.

They import finished plastics pallets then, mix with generated scraps from all the scavengers you see daily.

So the polymers and ceramic, steels and irons too..

yusman14:
which course did you studied?

MME

Worked in a bank for many years and now as an education consultant..

MME

Worked in a bank for many years and now as an education consultant..

Check my page..

It is somehow though ..other engineering field also face the same thing..will you say no elect and chemical engineering graduate works in bank??
The problem is the settings not MME..it is a good course...you are suppose to be encouraging undergraduate like me...it is not ok bro...I understand your feelings,I know.....
Sorry to ask,which school did you graduate from and your grade??
I will love your reply sir

so are you saying that they are no jobs at all for us??
Because most of our alumni in OAU are really doing well ooo.....and have a good paying job bro

I can never believe this.....
No matter how bad this country is,there is work for us bro..
Will u say none of your course mate then are working in materials discipline??
Make your findings sir.. some are in big companies ...I av mentors that graduated from OAU that are doing well....
Engineering profession in Nigeria have a general problem it is not only peculiar to MME....alot of civil engineers are teaching...You don't know your worth bro ..I pray u get out of this foolish country..grace will locate you sir.

I grab bro...
All engineering fields in Nigeria are facing this problem...
Can't we do without the whites??
But u make it seems as if the course is useless..it is not useless but our society or country does not improve the practicing...
What if a MME graduate leave Nigeria for overseas to work....

Just concentrate on your studies and ty to graduate with good grades..

The sky will be your starting point after...

Don't mind Nigeria.. we will survive.

Wrong stereotype. It may interest you to know Medicine and Law are overrated too. The society places much emphasis in paper qualifications, and most graduates with good grades fair less than their contemporaries with lesser grades. The bottom line is actually having a good referral.

You're making sense, a lot of people need to see this.

neuroboy4:
Posts like this serve as discouragement to students already studying these courses.

The truth must be told, so that even those who are yet to apply would be properly guided.

stanisbaratheon:
Please remove music from that list.

I'd rather add Law to that list than have music there.

Music has to do with talent that's why studying it could be a total waste of time if it's not in your talent.

Myschoolbreeze:

Everything in Music is learned my dear. Nobody came out of the womb singing and playing instruments. Even some of the talented musicians in Nigeria today had to go back to school to perfect that craft.


I remember when I was learning how to play the Bass. At a point I could play it but not as good as someone that read the Bass in a university.
