Quotes about engineer
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.
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.
engineering achieve function
Engineering is achieving function while avoiding failure.
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.
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.
engineering worry mutation
I suspect any worries about genetic engineering may be unnecessary. Genetic mutations have always happened naturally, anyway. James Lovelock
engineering cards green
I would staple a green card to the diploma of anyone that graduates with a degree in the physical sciences or engineering in the U.S. John Doerr
engineering mph looks
You had to make a camera look like it's traveling at 300 mph, but you couldn't make it actually travel at 300 mph so you had to slow everything down and build devices to do that. So you were constantly engineering. John Dykstra
engineering creative input
I like engineering, but I love the creative input.
engineers
I scientifically engineer my music to be as accessible as possible. John Mayer
engineering steps finals
It's an ancient and honorable term for the final step in any engineering project. Turn it on, see if it smokes. Lois McMaster Bujold
engineering skills romance
I have always made a point in my romances of basing my so-called inventions upon a groundwork of actual fact, and of using in their construction methods and materials which are not entirely without the pale of contemporary engineering skill and knowledge. Jules Verne
engineering gmos issues
The public should know that the liability issues here have yet to be resolved, or even raised. If you're a farmer and you're growing a genetically engineering food crop, those genes are going to flow to the other farm. Jeremy Rifkin
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.
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.
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.
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 names important
There are fields of scientific work...which have been explored from the different sides of pure mathematics, statistics, electrical engineering, and neurophysiology...in which every single notion receives a separate and different name from each group, and in which important work has been triplicated or quadruplicated, while still other important work is delayed by the unavailability in one field of results that may have already become classical in the next field. Norbert Wiener
engineering pests example
One of the really remarkably beneficial aspects of genetic engineering is that much of the previous methodology for controlling pests and so forth is through chemicals that affect a very broad spectrum of insects, for example, or fungicides that control fungi. Nina Fedoroff
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 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 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 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 design architecture
Architecture begins where engineering ends. Walter Gropius
