OAU Department of Mechanical Engineering’s Post

Yesterday, I had the privilege of attending the NiMechE UI conference, an event that truly lived up to its theme: "Beyond the Blueprint." It was an enlightening experience that showcased how engineering and innovation can converge to create sustainable solutions for our future. One key takeaway was the idea that to monetize a problem, we must first highlight it. This approach not only brings awareness but also opens the door for innovative solutions and investment opportunities. The conference illustrated how "jugaad" meets design thinking. It's where improvisation isn't just making do; it's a form of innovation. This intersection is where we find the most creative and practical solutions to complex problems. The discussions on circularity emphasized the importance of the three R's: reuse, recycle, and repurpose. Lastly, the spotlight on CNG innovations highlighted the strides we're making in clean energy. It's inspiring to see such progress in developing technologies that could lead to a greener, more sustainable world. I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to the organizers, speakers, the president of NiMechE OAU Ademiluyi Desire and fellow attendees who made this conference not only possible but also a memorable and impactful event. The University of Ibadan provided a refreshing environment that was conducive to learning and collaboration. Its serene and beautiful campus was the perfect backdrop for an event focused on innovation and sustainability. #NiMechEUI #EngineeringInnovation #SustainableSolutions #CircularEconomy #CNG
