MATERIALS IMPERFECTIONS AND DEVELOPMENT OF YOUNG MINDS – Offor Uzochukwu George

Materials are as important as life itself. It is basic for mankind breakthrough in all form of civilization and growth. It is one of the parameter that helps us to measure time and age (Stone Age, Iron Age and our current and advanced stage). Materials in accordance with English mini dictionary, is an item needed for creating something. The aspiration of our family, lecturers, school management and friends of generating and executing ideas that will transform not only our lives but that of our generation and proceed into something useful, beautiful, elegant and most importantly useful. Like Engr. U. Mark has always said and as agreed by all engineers in metallurgy and materials department, materials are not perfect and they contain impurities. Materials which are required for growth and improvement of life yet as English Mini Dictionary defines imperfect, it is incomplete.
Imperfections in materials prove that we don’t have to be perfect to be functional, useful and important. Materials have been proven that even in our weaknesses; we are strong as the bible says. It is not necessary to be perfect. It isn’t what we are to strive for but, it is to let ourselves be processed by the wonderful lecturers of this department into being wonderful, useful and important people in the society today and tomorrow. To achieve this, we must learn to study, understand and assimilate what we are being taught. Imperfection is not always a bad thing, what will be bad is when we leave this great citadel of learning without being functional part of the society.
