The transition from undergraduate life to becoming a certified graduate of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Ladoke Akintola University of Technology has been successfully completed. After weeks of intense dedication to exams, projects, and induction processes, the journey culminated in a rewarding achievement. The year commenced with rigorous academic tests and exams immediately following the festive period. Despite the challenges faced during examinations, the department set a deadline for the submission of our projects, allowing just two weeks after our final papers/sign-out. My project, titled 'Development of an Automated Mango Harvesting Robot', presented its own set of challenges and required meticulous planning and execution. Following the successful defense of the project on Friday, March 1st, attention quickly turned to preparing for the 18th LAUTECH NSE induction ceremony, scheduled for March 7th. Amidst the preparations, the external defense added an extra layer of anticipation and excitement. Taking place on Tuesday, March 12th, the external defense provided an opportunity to showcase our projects before industry experts. This experience was not only academically enriching but also personally fulfilling. It allowed me to apply the public speaking skills acquired from organizations like JCI (Junior Chamber International) Lautech and engage with industrialists in a professional setting. As I reflect on this journey, I am filled with gratitude for the support received from mentors, peers, and faculty members. This marks the beginning of a new chapter filled with opportunities for growth and exploration in the field of mechanical engineering. #Lautech #engineering #engineeringinnovation #engineeringcommunity #artificialintelligence

Meet Sky Rueff, Mechanical Engineering '25 and President of FAU AXA, and Vice President of the FAU Technology and Aerospace Club. 🔍 Get to know Sky: 🚀 What skills or qualities do you believe are essential for success in your future career, and how are you working to develop them? "To be successful in any career path, especially in engineering, you need three main characteristics. Firstly, leadership: the ability to lead a group of individuals to work harmoniously and achieve a common goal. To do this, you need excellent communication skills—the ability to convey ideas or concerns to your peers, all while maintaining excellent teamwork. Teamwork means succeeding in tandem with those around you, lifting your peers up to achieve more than they thought they were capable of. Mastering the art of leadership, communication, and teamwork will result in a healthy, fast-paced, well-organized group of individuals." 🚀 What sparked your interest in engineering? "My interest has always been in understanding how something works. My passion for engineering was an obvious choice upon picking my major. I always found myself staring at the horizon of new technologies, wanting to not only engage with them but also to take them apart and understand their intricacies." 🚀 If you could give one piece of advice to incoming freshmen, what would it be? "My advice is to put yourself out there, join a club that interests you, and find that person who inspires you to be your best self. From there, try to make an impact that will last and take in all you can from your short experience in college."

Three Hundred _ Stories of an Engineer Choosing a university was not an insurmountable challenge for me, as I had made my decision two years ago, well before the application process. My path was clear, and I confidently pursued my goal. My father played a significant role in my choice of university. I vividly remember walking together around the campus, absorbing the atmosphere of student life. We stopped on a bench and talked for a long time about my plans and dreams. Watching the students engrossed in their studies and discussions, I felt a growing inspiration wash over me. That moment became pivotal, solidifying my decision and allowing me to look to the future with hope and determination. Ultimately, I enrolled in the mechanical engineering faculty. This was a decision I arrived at after a long journey, overcoming doubts and internal questions. Now, a new world opens before me—a world of mechanisms, blueprints, and technical solutions, where every equation can lead to the creation of something real and tangible. This path is full of challenges, but in it, I see an opportunity to unleash my abilities and build my future. About three hundred students from various corners of the country were admitted to the mechanical engineering faculty. Thus began my fascinating story at the university. Four years of undergraduate studies and two years of graduate studies—a time filled with new discoveries, friendships, and challenges. From the first day, I realized this would be more than just studying; it would be a true adventure. First-year students, brimming with excitement and anticipation, gathered in classrooms, where we were met by professors with diverse approaches and ideas. I remember how my classmates and I got lost in the vast university building, exploring new subjects and trying to grasp what lay ahead. Each year brought its own challenges, from difficult exams to project work that sometimes felt impossible. But it was these difficulties that brought us closer together. Each of us left our mark on the university, and looking back, I understand how much I learned—not just academically, but also about myself. These years shaped me as a person, and I fondly remember all the moments—both joyful and challenging.

Engineers Canada is proud to announce the launch of Pathway to Engineering, a new program to connect engineering graduates with the people and knowledge to become licensed as engineers. Follow us at https://lnkd.in/gNiDyteN and share with the engineering graduates in your life. Learn more at https://lnkd.in/gNEctQwz!  Engineering educators Engineering educators work incredibly hard to prepare students for a career in engineering. As an educator, you are often the first connection aspiring engineers will have with the profession. The information you provide and the way you speak about the engineering profession set a tone that lasts with students for many years. Across hundreds of disciplines and specialties, engineers play a critical role in our society, from designing groundbreaking innovations to driving the solutions to the biggest challenges our society faces. Like many integral professions that are dedicated to serving the public, engineering is a licensed profession. The education provided to an engineering graduate is a foundational stepping stone from which they can move forward and become a fully licensed engineer. You can help set students on a path where their engineering education makes a real difference in the lives of Canadians and others across the world. This includes helping students to understand more about licensure, its value as a professional, and when it’s required. Just as you would encourage students to fully understand and engage with their coursework, you can inspire your students to really explore what the profession has to offer for graduates who pursue licensure after school.

As part of Engineers Week last week, KPC collaborated with St. Columba’s NS to bring the fascinating world of Engineering right to the students' doorstep! Engineers Week has been created to introduce primary and secondary school children to the diverse world of engineering, by providing practical resources for teachers, and on-demand virtual engineering shows. This year, KPC Engineer David McCurtin visited the students of St. Columba’s NS to lead an engaging session on the fundamentals of Engineering through the Egg Drop Challenge! For the more junior students in the class, David also led a spaghetti and marshmallow tower challenge 🍝 Here's how it worked: 🔧 The students dove into the practical side of engineering by designing and constructing their very first containers using basic craft materials. 📈 The containers were then put to the ultimate test as they were dropped from increasing heights, all in an attempt to protect the egg inside. 🏆 After each drop, students had the opportunity to refine and enhance their designs, learning valuable lessons in continuous improvement. The grand finale? The student whose egg survived the highest drop was crowned the ultimate Egg Drop Champion! 🎉 This challenge isn't just about fun—it's about learning essential concepts in Material, Mechanical, and continuous improvement engineering. Kudos to all the students for their remarkable efforts! With such enthusiasm and creativity, it's clear that the future of STEM is bright! Engineers Ireland #StepsEngineersWeek
