Career / Re: Sample Coren Technical Report by thomasjr(m): 10:24pm On Nov 09, 2018
GNwafor:
Copy and paste Engineers. Can you see the level of idleness of the Nigerian Engineering Graduates? Everybody on this thread wants a COREN Report Sample. Everbody has a BSc/BEng/HND degree, and yet no one could write the COREN Technical Report which is just a critical analysis of your English Language ability in writing a technical report in your domain based on your work experience. Everybody wants "copy & paste".

The country is already in a mess because the British deceived us that once you have a Paper - degree, you are qualified. Every Engineering graduate whether BSc/BEng/HND carried out a laboratory work during the schooling days, how come nobody could write a Technical Report explaining "what was done", "how it was done", "why it was done", "what was the major conclusions", and "any new area of improvement". Mind you, this thread started at about 9:00 am On Dec 11, 2012.

Having COREN Certificate that enables you to attach the prefix "Engr." before your name does not make you an Engineer, rather the thought process of sitting down, drafting the format/outline of the COREN Technical Report (which is domain and experience-specific), and ultimately developing the outline into a full Technical Report of say 70+ pages, with all the necessary addendum, charts, graphs, drawings, calculations, etc., that's what makes you an Engineer.

This country must begin to de-emphasize on the paper Qualification war - which is the actual motivation of most Nigerian Graduates not necessarily Engineering Graduates. We must begin to seek "knowledge" (the thought-process of writing a standard technical report) rather than "qualification" (COREN Certificate).

In Nigeria, we know how to copy and paste. Nigerian Government copied HND from the UK, in the early 1960s, the UK Education system was revolutionalized and every Polytechnic became a University (e.g. Wolverhampton Polytechnic became the University of Wolverhampton in 1970).
What do we have in Nigeria, "the same - the same". We are immune to change.

If we that claims that we are the leaders of tomorrow are ready for tomorrow in Nigeria, then we must go back, pick and start reading those "Course Manuals" on Workshop Practice and the likes where the rudiments of Technical Report Writing were exposed.

"Report Writing" which is part of "Communication Skill" is a technical skill that every "Engineer" must develop and it becomes part you, the reason is that as an Engineer, over the course of your career, you will always write a technical report about a/a project, task, operation, design, maintenance service, fieldwork, etc. So, you must go and develop it.

On a final note, I recommend "Steve Jobs' strategy - forget the grades, focus on the learning". Evidently, anybody requesting for COREN Technical Report Sample clearly focused on "grades", and in doing so forgot "learning". QED
