WAEC And JAMB Subjects Combination For Mechanical Engineering – The reason why so many students fail to secure admission is because they are not able to make the right subject combination for the course that they want to study at the University.
This is bad, and that is why this post has come to address that particular challenge for students who are planning to apply for admission from now going forward, will be guided on how to choose the right subject combination for their courses.
However, for today, our focus will be only on the subject combination for the Mechanical Engineering course. So if you are aspiring to pursue a career in Mechanical Engineering, be serious with this pot because it concerns you.
Before I continue with the main subject matter, let me pause and define briefly some of the concepts that will be appearing often in this post, which is a subject combination.
What Is The Subject Combination?
The subject combination is bringing together subjects that suitably qualify a candidate to study a particular course in the University.
In other ways, it can also be said that there is a subject combination that does not give a good match, for a choice of course and that can lead to disqualification of a particular course.
About Mechanical Engineering As A Course
Before I talk about mechanical engineering as a course, let me first of all define mechanical engineering.
Mechanical engineering is the act of designing, developing, installing, and maintaining mechanical parts.
It can also be seen as a process of researching and designing mechanical products and systems and overseeing their manufacturing, usage, and repairs.

FAQs
Must include Chemistry as my JAMB UTME entry requirements for Mechanical Engineering?
The compulsory subjects that you cannot do without are English Language, Physics, and Mathematics.
Apart from those three subjects, other subjects like Chemistry are optional based on the institution, since different institutions have their different entry requirements. so that is left for the institution you choose to decide.
What are the career areas that can be found after graduating from mechanical engineering?
You may be wondering where will I work when I graduate from school. If that can of thought has come across your mind, here is the answer to your question:
- Machine design
- Computational engineering
- Aerodynamics
- Thermal engineering
- Materials engineering
- Robotics
- Fluid mechanics
- Automation and Control
- Thermal engineering
Who are the prospective employers of mechanical engineering graduates?
If you graduate as a mechanical engineer, firms that are under the following list can employ you to work for them:
- Aerospace engineering
- Automotive engineering
- Construction
- Energy
- Manufacturing
- Medicine
- Railway engineering
- Sport.
What is the study duration of mechanical engineering?
Obtaining a degree in mechanical engineering is not the usual four years that apply to some other courses in the University, therefore, to bag home a degree in mechanical engineering, you will spend five years in the university.
