things are changing... Stop being myopic...programming is slowly and steadily becoming an integral part of the profession.. Am a civil engineer but you can't guess how much programming I have come to know and apply..prof charlse uko the ex vp of coren was learning c++ at over 60 years of age when he got back from one of his visits to the US back then..wish I could tell u in details how fast the profession is changing nd you better be ready coz one day, solving complex maths will require some form programming skills for speed and efficiency and you better be ready...even being proficient with excel requires a level of coding

Exactly what people don't know in this present world. I did Biochemistry and Molecular Biology in covenant and I noticed how programming is becoming an integral part of genetics, and even statistics and mathematics. Many Nigerian scientists, researchers, and doctors will soon be outdated in the developed world if they don't develop themselves with this understanding.

Am an old man. An Electrical Engineer by training. Some children not born when i graduated are now undergraduates.

As i said earlier, universities have 2 functions. One is to educate and the other is research. Both need lots of funds. Now, most Nigerian universities don't do much research, that doesn't mean they failed in educating. Of course they can be better, doesn't mean they failed. How do we know? Nigerian graduates have gone all over the world to do us proud. And i don't mean our elite graduates. Go all over the world and you will see Nigerian doctors and other professionals that were trained in Nigeria.
When we focus on engineering, go to manufacturing companies, oil and gas industry, anywhere engineers work. Nigerian engineers do the work and do it well. The fact that we are import dependent is not because our engineers are poor. Is anybody bringing the finance to set up the company? is it profitable to produce those things in Nigeria? Will Nigerians chose made in Nigeria products over imported ones?

Our Universities still do good quality research. Another problem is commercializing those research. We have some good lecturers that do good quality research.

Your take makes a lot of sense sire!

When u gain admission to uniben Come back to argue with me For naw I have Notin to say to u

You have nothing to say dear.

DopeBoss:
Wat Dept. / Level?

writerights:


Chemical engineering isn't abt making candles dear.

I heard it's about building bridges

cool down and do whatever is necessary to collect the certificate, you're already better than most computer science students by realising what's wrong with your education.

Thank u sir
