b) Skilled professionals with practical expertise in engineering fields, often possessing certifications
or diplomas in relevant disciplines.
c) Support personnel who assist engineers and technologists in executing technicians tasks,
projects, contributing to the smooth functioning of engineering operations.
C) Nigerian Association of Engineering Craftsmen (NAEC)
Nigerian Association of Engineering Craftsmen was established with the aim of representing its members
as well as advancing the theory and practice of engineering in all the fields of engineering crafts.
Engineering Practitioners in this cadre hold an Accredited Engineering Qualification of WAEC Technical,
NABTEB (Engineering related) after obtaining a minimum Professional engineering experience of TWO
years, whether working privately or in the employment of an engineering public. They are addressed as
"Craftsmen". It was established in 1989 to address the needs and concerns of engineering craftsmen
NAEC envisions a future where engineering craftmanship is recognized, valued and respected as a vital
component of Nigeria’s engineering landscape, contributing significantly to economic growth and
societal advancement.

B.Sc. Eng.; This program leans more towards the theoretical side of engineering. It delves deeper
into the scientific principles underlying engineering practices. The curriculum emphasizes foundational
science courses like physics, chemistry, and advanced mathematics, along with core engineering
subjects.
B.Eng.; This program places greater emphasis on the practical application of engineering
knowledge. It equips students with the skills necessary to design, build, and test engineering systems.
The curriculum includes hands-on training in labs and workshops, alongside core engineering theory.
Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) Focus BEng programs focus on the position of engineering prices to
design, analysis and solutions for real-world problems into mechanics, etc. then software engineering.
Significance: BEng degrees provide sometimes lack a comprehensive understanding of scientific theories
They prepare graduates for careers in engineering practice, consulting, construction, manufacturing, or
further study in specialized fields
In summary, Bachelor of Science programs focus on theoretical understanding and scientific inquiry.
preparing students for careers in research or further study of Engineering emphasize the application of
engineering principles to solve practical problems, preparing graduates for careers in engineering
practice fields
