Quotes about engineer
engineering boring treated
Engineering is treated with disdain, on the whole. It's considered to be rather boring and irrelevant, yet neither of those is true. James Dyson
engineering years people
Hire inexperience. This year we plan to hire 200 engineers - half of whom are recent grads. Young people are not burdened by years of experience. They haven't learned - or been told - what is right or wrong. With engineering, there is no tried and tested path. You try, and fail, and fix, and fail again. James Dyson
engineering agency creative
[M]anufacturing, science and engineering are ... incredibly creative. I'd venture to say more so than creative advertising agencies and things that are known as the creative industries. James Dyson
engineering design natural
Britain's great strength is its innovative, design and engineering natural ability and we're not using it. James Dyson
engineering government long
Engineering undergraduates should not be charged fees. They should receive grants, not student loans, and the government will get the money back long-term from increased exports. James Dyson
engineers train
Everybody is headed for the same place, and they are headed on the same train, and under the same engineer. Harry S Truman
engineering years cost
Inadequate use of usability engineering methods in software development projects have been estimated to cost the US economy about $30 billion per year in lost productivity. Jakob Nielsen
engineering world changing-the-world
Science can amuse and fascinate us all, but it is engineering that changes the world. Isaac Asimov
engineering design progress
The advance of genetic engineering makes it quite conceivable that we will begin to design our own evolutionary progress. Isaac Asimov
engineering foundation students
Therefore, O students, study mathematics and do not build without foundations. Leonardo da Vinci
engineering america construction
The social and physical construction of suburban America really was quite complex. It was a very elaborate system, and clearly a massive social engineering project that has changed U.S. society enormously. Noam Chomsky
engineering able social
Both social engineering and technical attacks played a big part in what I was able to do. It was a hybrid. I used social engineering when it was appropriate, and exploited technical vulnerabilities when it was appropriate. Kevin Mitnick
engineering keys information
The key to social engineering is influencing a person to do something that allows the hacker to gain access to information or your network. Kevin Mitnick
engineering organization deception
Social engineering is using manipulation, influence and deception to get a person, a trusted insider within an organization, to comply with a request, and the request is usually to release information or to perform some sort of action item that benefits that attacker. Kevin Mitnick
engineering woe tools
Indeed, the woes of Software Engineering are not due to lack of tools, or proper management, but largely due to lack of sufficient technical competence. Niklaus Wirth
engineering yield resources
Good engineering is characterized by gradual, stepwise refinement of products that yields increased performance under given constraints and with given resources. Niklaus Wirth
engineering support balance
The heel is engineering in itself. This little thing that supports the human weight has to have a precise balance. Christian Louboutin
engineering may strive
To strive consciously for an object and to engage in engineering -- that is, incessantly and eternally to make new roads, wherever they may lead. Fyodor Dostoevsky
engineering bridges islands
He only wishes there were something that would heal the scars in his mind, which he can still feel. He sees his mind now as an archipelago of islands that he labors to build bridges between - and while he's had great success engineering the most spectacular of bridges, he suspects there are some islands that he'll never reach. Neal Shusterman
engineering goal design
What is commonly overlooked in using the computer is the fact that the central goal of design is still to obviate failure, and thus it is critical to identify exactly how a structure may fail. The computer cannot do this by itself . . . Henry Petroski
engineering numbers results
I emphasize that virtually every engineering calculation is ultimately a failure calculation, because without a failure criterion against which to measure the calculated result, it is a meaningless number. Henry Petroski
engineering calculations engineers
Failure is Central to engineering. Every single calculation that an engineer makes is a failure calculation. Henry Petroski
engineering generations done
A failed structure provides a counterexample to a hypothesis and shows us incontrovertibly what cannot be done, while a structure that stands without incident often conceals whatever lessons or caveats it might hold for the next generation of engineers. Henry Petroski
engineering achieve function
Engineering is achieving function while avoiding failure. Henry Petroski
engineering perfection doe
Engineering, like poetry, is an attempt to approach perfection. And engineers, like poets, are seldom completely satisfied with their creations. They notice, even if no one else does, the world that is not quite le mot juste, or the hairline crack that blemishes the structure. Henry Petroski
engineering iron paris
It seems to be saying perpetually; 'I am the end of the nineteenth century; I am glad they built me of iron; let me rust.' ... It is like a passing fool in a crowd of the University, a buffoon in the hall; for all the things in Paris has made, it alone has neither wits nor soul. Hilaire Belloc
engineering opposites action
For every scientific (or engineering) action, there is an equal and opposite social reaction. Norman Ralph Augustine
engineering law impossible
What we usually consider as impossible are simply engineering problems... there's no law of physics preventing them. Michio Kaku
engineering fiction fantasy
Once confined to fantasy and science fiction, time travel is now simply an engineering problem. Michio Kaku
engineering worry mutation
I suspect any worries about genetic engineering may be unnecessary. Genetic mutations have always happened naturally, anyway. James Lovelock
engineering perfect limited-resources
Engineering isn't about perfect solutions; it's about doing the best you can with limited resources. Randy Pausch
engineering important problem
The most troublesome problem which confronts social engineering is how to provide for the untalented and, what is equally important, how to provide against them. Eric Hoffer
engineering agriculture people
Very few people can communicate with one another. The only language that's not subject to interpretation is mathematics, chemistry, basic science, engineering principles, and applied agriculture. But other than that, many systems today are subject to interpretation. Jacque Fresco
