The
editorial crew of the Voice of NAMMES was privileged to have a short oral interview with Engr. Prof.
C. N. Anyakwo; Head, Department of Materials and Metallurgical Engineering,
FUTO. During the course of the interview he pointed out so many pieces of advice
to the newly admitted students of the department and to the older students at
large. Below is an excerpt.
VON:
Sir, do you have any words of advice to the newly admitted students?
HOD:
Yes, of course. I congratulate and welcome you to the department of Met/Mat
Engineering, the bedrock of Engineering. It is very important you note this few
information.
Firstly,
you must learn how to compute your Grade Point Average (GPA) and Cumulative
Grade Point Average (CGPA) now so as not to make mistakes and also cultivate
the habit of checking your results after each semester so as to avoid causing
academic problems for yourself.
Secondly,
I want you to note that the class of Degree you wish to graduate with starts
from now. If you want to make to a First Class, don’t wait till you reach 500L
before you start preparing. The time starts now.
Thirdly,
Make sure you attend the entire practical (Chemistry, Physics, Biology,
Workshop practice) and also register all your courses appropriately. Last year,
we had a lot of missing practical score in Chemistry and we wouldn’t want such
to happen again.
Fourthly,
if you wish to withdraw from the department or from the school, then you must
write to the Senate through the Dean, School of Engineering and through your
HOD.
Finally,
let me make it known to you that MME does not in any way support Examination
Malpractice. So, avoid all forms of Examination misconduct and learn to study.
VON:
Thank you Sir for your time. Your advice was wonderful and we will do our best
to inform the year one students appropriately.
HOD:
You are welcome.
