Where intelligence meets engineering. Designing systems, coding & exploring energy research from the ground up. The journey starts now. | Noukratos ⚙️

[Emmanuel Olumide @Noukratos]

Day 1. Noukratos is officially live. ⚡

I'm starting from the ground up — embedded systems, electronics, mechatronics, software & energy research.
I'll be sharing everything. The wins, the failures, the lessons.
The journey starts now. Follow along.

@princess_yfe who be ur plug

[Emmanuel Olumide @Noukratos]

@princess_yfe Jack of all trades master of non but sometimes better than master of one

[Emmanuel Olumide @Noukratos]

@princess_yfe See the way they are coming for you.
Actually I get Ur point because we are in the same shoe
I am also a student building on my own.

@eniola_yun27360 @EmekaBuilds_ @princess_yfe we are in this together

[Emmanuel Olumide @Noukratos]

@osasinrobotics Work on robots for now

Beauty is one very important aspect of engineering and that beauty is very very far from this thing I built 🥲🥲...

This is why 3d printing and PCB design is very important....

[Princess Bamigboye @princess_yfe]

The mindset of many Nigerian youths is very concerning to me

I know we've all been brainwashed to think that if you have a first class, you have an advantage

I get that, but things are actually getting out of hand

Especially in engineering

I don't understand how you can boldly say you're a first class student, and you have ZERO KNOWLEDGE on how to apply what you've learned in class

Yes, Nigeria's education system is not the best

But that's when going out of your comfort zone comes to play

You can't expect to be world-class, and then rely solely on the curriculum being used in school

It doesn't work that way

GO BEYOND THAT!

I'll be honest with you

When I was in school, a first class was never my goal

From secondary school, I got used to being second or third best

That was the norm for me

So, coming into uni, my goal was simple

Do my best, and make the most of my undergraduate years

I didn't get it right at first

I was everywhere
I got carried away

My grades slipped

And I was dropped from MBBS (Medicine & Surgery)

(I didn't want to be there in the first place, but still)

300 level was when I sat up

400 level was when I started taking my career seriously

In a year, I built a track record and portfolio for myself, and people started to trust me with hardware and administrative duties

I became an executive of 2 student associations

I ran a full-time perfume business

And I graduated with a strong Second Class Upper 🎓

Now, I look at people who are younger and prioritizing just their grades

Then they get to their final year, where they expect you to build something that could be from Silicon Valley, and they pay people to build it for them

The same people who are boasting about having a first class 🤦🏽‍♀️

Yet they can't build jack

Honestly, it's crazy

And it just shows that the education system rewards retention and remembering, rather than intelligence

Anyway...

I'll just say if you're reading this or you've been following my content for a while and you do this, PLEASE CHANGE

I can't say I've impacted you and you can't (at least) maximize your internship period

Even if your school doesn't do practical well, find a place you can intern at that does

This is one of the things we're trying to address at Your Favourite Engineer (@yfe_llc)

My pride will be in knowing that someone somewhere had a shift in mindset

And because of what I post, they're taking their academics AND their career seriously as an undergraduate

There's no either/or about it for me

You can thrive in both

One doesn't have to suffer because of the other

If I can do it, so can you

So yeah
I'll leave you with this

I'm always rooting for you 🩵

You've got this 👑

[Emmanuel Olumide @Noukratos]

@princess_yfe It's not easy oo
I have been battling electronics and chip design since morning.
To move further we need to learn how to design and build our own chips

[Emmanuel Olumide @Noukratos]

@princess_yfe @yfe_llc Will for sure
I want to run the first phase of the project
Using capacitive soil sensor

[Emmanuel Olumide @Noukratos]

@learn2earnNG have a new circle started for those who failed in lagos

[Emmanuel Olumide @Noukratos]

@coderina Same to u

[Emmanuel Olumide @Noukratos]

@learn2earnNG Thanks you for the Easter encouragement
