Quotes about engineer
engineering fiction fantasy
Once confined to fantasy and science fiction, time travel is now simply an engineering problem. Michio Kaku
engineers fact good news trying
If nothing ruptured, then that's really good news for the engineers who were trying to make it in fact so that it wouldn't.
engineered john kerry seen
I have never seen John Kerry give anything but an engineered response. Michael Parenti
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 progress banking
Progress is cumulative in science and engineering, but cyclical in finance. James Grant
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
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
engineers studios
Don't go to the same studio twice, or work with the same engineer twice. Stephen Malkmus
engineering skills people
Those with engineering skills will build tomorrow's genius computers. But those with the ability to create knowledge of any kind will be the ones who are best able to extract great value from them. The way to create value in the age of genius machines will be to compile and disseminate knowledge that other people will find useful. Ray Kurzweil
engineering years opening-up
Problems in human engineering will receive during the coming years the same genius and attention which the nineteenth century gave to the more material forms of engineering. We have laid good foundations for industrial prosperity, now we want to assure the happiness and growth of the workers through vocational education, vocational guidance, and wisely managed employment departments. A great field for industrial experimentation and statemanship is opening up. Thomas A. Edison
engineering design want
When you want to know how things really work, study them when they're coming apart. William Gibson
engineering two mind
In fact, the science of thermodynamics began with an analysis, by the great engineer Sadi Carnot, of the problem of how to build the best and most efficient engine, and this constitutes one of the few famous cases in which engineering has contributed to fundamental physical theory. Another example that comes to mind is the more recent analysis of information theory by Claude Shannon. These two analyses, incidentally, turn out to be closely related. Richard P. Feynman
engineering differences machines
The machine code of the genes is uncannily computer-like. Apart from differences in jargon, the pages of a molecular biology journal might be interchanged with those of a computer engineering journal. Richard Dawkins
engineering gmos people
The present Luddism over genetic engineering may die a natural death as the computer-illiterate generation is superseded.... I fear that, if the green movement's high-amplitude warnings over GMOs turn out to be empty, people will be dangerously disinclined to listen to other and more serious warnings.
engineering knowledgeable-person political
If you start from a belief that the most knowledgeable person on earth does not have even one percent of the total knowledge on earth, that shoots down social engineering, economic central planning, judicial activism and innumerable other ambitious notions favored by the political left. Thomas Sowell
engineering important management
Productivity is most important by engineering management rules, but enjoyment is most important for engineers. One stems from the other. Rob Pike
engineering imagination important
Engineering is not quite as important as imagination Satoru Iwata
engineering design architecture
Architecture begins where engineering ends. Walter Gropius
engineering indulge-in luxury
George Washington was quite a farmer. He was a farmer, Civil Engineer and gentleman. He made enough at civil engineering to indulge in both the other luxuries. Will Rogers
engineering genius improvement
Improvement makes strait roads, but the crooked roads without Improvement, are roads of Genius. William Blake
engineering people problem
Engineering is easy - it's the people problems that are hard. Temple Grandin
engineering years navy
I wanted to further my education, so I went on to get a Ph.D. in electrical engineering and came back and served about ten years in the Canadian Navy as what we call a combat systems engineer. Marc Garneau
engineering done economic
Recession doesn't deserve the right to exist. There are just too many things to be done in science and engineering to be bogged down by temporary economic dislocations. Walt Disney
engineering water age
We have grown accustomed to the wonders of clean water, indoor plumbing, laser surgery, genetic engineering, artificial joints, replacement body parts, and the much longer lives that accompany them. Yet we should remember that the vast majority of humans ever born died before the age of 10 from an infectious disease. S. Jay Olshansky
engineering aviation human-life
All attempts at artificial aviation are not only dangerous to human life, but foredoomed to failure from the engineering standpoint. Simon Newcomb
engineering principles ends
Engineering is the application of scientific principles toward practical ends. If the engineering isn't practical, it's bad engineering. Steve McConnell
engineering design needs
Nuclear weapons need large facilities, but genetic engineering can be done in a small lab. You can't regulate every lab in the world. The danger is that either by accident or design, we create a virus that destroys us. Stephen Hawking
engineering kansas graduates
After graduating in engineering I went to the University of Kansas to get an MA in economics as a vehicle for allowing me to decide if I wanted to continue in economics. Vernon L. Smith
engineering technique example
Writers acquire their technique by spotting, savoring, and reverse-engineering examples of good prose. Steven Pinker
engineering challenges problem
Aggression, like every other part of human behavior we take for granted, is a challenging engineering problem!
engineering doing-you states
Put glibly: In science if you know what you are doing you should not be doing it. In engineering if you do not know what you are doing you should not be doing it. Of course, you seldom, if ever, see either pure state. Richard Hamming
engineering numbers way
Science is concerned with what is possible while engineering is concerned with choosing, from among the many possible ways, one that meets a number of often poorly stated economic and practical objectives.
engineers huge
Great engineers are a huge multiplier. Steve Jobs
