EzePromoe:
Whatever bro

Ahmed4002:


we need this thread on the Fp.
This Nairaland mods self.

imagine the kind of topic hitting the Fp.

Education is quite dead long time ago in Nigeria.

EzePromoe:

So why did you quote me?

jaybee3:

Roadside mechanics and electricians aren't engineers duh, they are simply Technicians!

[b]OP, I hope you know that there's difference between intelligence and creativity. An illiterate can be an engineer (e.g some roadside car repairers, some electricians etc) or are these people not engineers? Knowledge of engineering to some extent can be passed through vocational or informal training. There are some people who will spend 4 years in the university studying Mechanical engineering yet they won't be able to detect even the least fault in a car. Medicine on the other hand is not vocational in orientation, that's why you can't see most polytechnics offering medicine as course. Medicine students spend close to seven years studying the course. I will only agree with you if you say that generally, engineers are more skillful and innovative than their medical counterparts but when it's come to intelligence, it's a very different ball game. Engineering is all about relating ideas to real world, your intelligence has little to do here. When I was in secondary school, I wasn't articulate when it came to expressing myself in English though I could read well and comprehend but I was unbelievably a Maths genius...


I'm an engineer who studied Elect/Elect but you see I can't undermine the intelligence of medical students. I'm sorry this has to go to the medical students because they won hands down.[/b]

I've had the privilege to study both.
I must confess ,med is tough,lengthy and tasking but nothing as stressful,exhausting and tiring as studying engineering.

Personally,I'll say med is less labourious .



Engineering all the way.

Ruq:
Trash, let's engineers get sick and let us watch them fix their bodies with engineering. Just imagine an engineer dying from a tooth problem.

I don't know how daft people can be in saying ishes, no one field surpasses anyone, we all have our field where we excel and at the same time we can be made to see dumb judging from another field. Even a polymath can't know all.
