CareersNG

Hi to you all,
if you are a mechanical engineering graduate of one of Nigeria's top Universities, and you are interested in intensive research work knowing that you have what it takes, and you have the papers to show this. There is an opportunity for you to do your Masters/PhD in the US with full funding. Send me a PM (private message) indicating your interest and we would take it from there. Also do a reply to this post...saying that you sent me a PM (so that i wont 4get u )

Regards

Mech Eng is a wide Discipline with various areas of specializations. Kindly let folks know the area(s) of interest this grant is looking to support.

Secondly, kindly spell out what you mean by Masters/Phd - is is Masters with option of Phd or are seperate grants available for Masters Candidates (BSc/ BEng holders) and Phd Candidates (people who already have their Msc)?

Kip on rockin!

Ok thanks for pointing that out...
The research areas is: Smart Materials and MEMS (Microelectromechanical Systems)
i dont know much about that field of research so i cant give details. You guys can look it up.
Graduates with B.sc or Masters have a chance for a PhD program.
For now, interest is on good mechanical engineering graduates...interested in funded research work towards a PhD. Kindly including your CGPA and GRE scores in the PM.
If you have not done GRE but planning to do it b4 end of the year...your are still ok.

Regards

Yes, am interested in the program, and it's a good one. I have sent you an PM.
Thanks a great deal.

If we didnt get more than a single response, then thats poor.

Thanks for ur response, i plan to have my GRE done before the end of these year.
However, i do not know whether i av to apply for subject based test, or general test or both.

When it is done wats the next thing?

If you are talking about this program...all you need is the General test. And most likely TOEFL. Its an opportunity with a professor who wants Nigerian(s) has his next set of PhD students.
So i decided to make it partly public so that everyone can have a chance, finally i would from this topic select few guys i feel are qualified and recommend them to him by the end of the year. Till December...everyone still have a chance to prepare for GRE&TOEFL!

Wish you the best!

If you are reading this post and its not for you...kindly send the link to someone you know would need this! I dont think i need to advertise this in NTA, before enough guys show interest...this is very important and the opportunity is becoming very urgent!

Thanks

Man, if we have to go NTA, you better dont stop the force of this synergy.

We should never have the opportunity to be the best and still sit behind hanging around for santa.

Dont think am over motivated. Just need change!!!

I just taught Physics might also be a good match.
If you did a very rigorous Solid State Physics, then you might be able to do some silicon kinda research.
So you are free to talk to me too if you read phyiscs and interested.

Regards

How long will it take to do the PhD and can one skip the M.Sc part?

I dont the like the fact that they have a minimum duration. What if a wizKid comes around and completes ground shattering research in 10months? Will they insists he must remain for 48months?

I know a couple of folks who received their PhD's after less than 2 yrs (many years ago sha). Why doesnt such happen nowadays?

Guy, What field of study was that in which they obtain such PhDs? I dont think it is in the sciences.

Pls be specific, are you saying all Engr in all countries in all fields finish PhD in less than 2years?

Never said so.

What I am saying is that it was possible for folks to earn phds in periods much shorter than what is advertized today as the minimum duration required a Phd nowadays.

Example (true life story): You enrolled for a Phd at Stanford in January 1970 and your project topic was to develop a Pressure Transient interpretation model for a fractured wellbore. And by June 1971 (18 months on) you had solved the problem for not only fractured wellbores, but virtually all known wellbore conditions and even taken it forward by inventing a new way of doing pressure transient analysis, applicable not only to wellbores but reservoirs and reservoir boundaries as well - you have literally solved all there is to solve (for the next 10 yrs at least) in a complete discipline.

Dont you think at that point I dont deserve a Phd? Remember its a true life story, and yes, the folks at Stanford gave "him" a Phd. I have other examples also true stories too.

@ X-2-X...i think you have a point, maybe thats why many smart(er) people never could finish
