Computer Engineers
Computer engineers embed computers in other machines and systems, build
networks to transfer data, and develop ways to make computers, faster, smaller,
and more capable. Software Engineers

1.Software engineering is the study and an application of engineering to the

design, development, and maintenance of software.

Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical Engineers are part of your every day life,

Designing the spoon you used to eat breakfast,
Your breakfasts packaging,
The chair youre sitting on,
Even your PEN.
VIRTUALLY EVERY OBJECT YOU SEE AROUND YOU
HAS PASSED THROUGH THE HANDS OF A
MECHANICAL ENGINEER!

Mechanical Engineering
Mechanical Engineering is the most applicable form of engineering
because you can work in any industry.

Mechanical Engineers are

Creative
Analytic and
Mathematical

Famous Mechanical Engineers

1. Ayodele Awojobi

Ayodele Awojobi was gifted in mathematics and the

sciences, and also developed a particular interest in
the arts, becoming a member of the school's literary
and debating society

He researched further with motor engines and was able to re-design a vehicle so
that it was able to move in both forward and backward directions with all four preexisting gears. This gave the hybrid vehicle, which he named Autonov 1, the ability
to achieve its highest speeds in a moment, in the normal reverse direction

Famous Mechanical Engineers

2. Henry Ford ( Founder of Ford Motor Company)
In 1901, C. Harold Wills supported Ford to design
and built a 26-horsepower automobile. With the
ultra success of this automobile, Murphy and
other stockholders in the Detroit Automobile
Company came together to form the Henry Ford
Company on November 30, 1901.

Famous Mechanical Engineers

3. James Watt
He learned writing, arithmetic and geometry in his
childhood along with the craft of instrument making,
which he later pursued as a career to achieve great
heights.

Famous Mechanical Engineers

4. Nikola Tesla
He was a child prodigy and possessed an eidetic memory
with a futuristic vision for the mankind which is evident
from most of his discoveries and researches
