Topic: ADVICE TO ALL FRESH ENGINEERS

I agree with you to the extent that you are not asking these new graduates not to learn these software at all. I am a Nigerian Engineer. I was trained here, I also work here. There is no Mechanical Engineering graduate that has no knowledge of materials, stress analysis, pipes(usually in thick and thin cylinder analysis in mechanics of materials),flow analysis etc. Same thing applies to other discipline. The main key issue is knowing which software apply to you. It is totally wasteful when Mechanical Engineer goes to learn HYSYS, FLARENET etc. If you are trained by a licensed company on the software, you will definitely have enough material to read. There are many EPC contract going on. Having a knowledge on any of these disciplined modeling software will surely put you on good stead in getting job.

to say the least, fear of the unknown is the major reason why engineering graduates who study core engineering fields( MEE, CHE, CVE, PEE, EEE, CPE etc) nose dive into an entirely different software training course all in the bid to attract job offers. it is pretty sad, i was a victim of circumstance but i am determined to make a corrective step.I am a CHE and i am going to learn hysys, which makes a whole lot of practical sense to me since i have a grounded knowledge and believe the job will come in due season. Thanks y'all, Nigeria, great people, great nation.

Once again, Thanks

All these courses you talk about....How much do they cost...and if they are expensive as i think they are....then how do one finance it without a job...or...become a pain in the neck again to our parents.
Advice...pls
