Quotes about engineering
engineering mature software
Software will get to be somewhat more mature, ah, but it will never be as predictable as most areas of engineering. Bill Gates
engineering way interviews
If you've found some way to educate yourself about engineering, stocks, or whatever it is, good employers will have some type of exam or interview and see a sample of your work.
engineering focus important
An important re-engineering principle is that companies should focus on their core competence and outsource everything else.
engineering bridges tasks
Software is definitely engineering. It's different in that we take on novel tasks every time. It's not like building a certain bridge that is virtually identical to some previous bridge or some previous building.
engineering combination software
Software is a great combination between artistry and engineering.
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.
engineering opposites action
For every scientific (or engineering) action, there is an equal and opposite social reaction. Norman Ralph Augustine
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.
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 long people
The required techniques of effective reasoning are pretty formal, but as long as programming is done by people that don't master them, the software crisis will remain with us and will be considered an incurable disease. And you know what incurable diseases do: they invite the quacks and charlatans in, who in this case take the form of Software Engineering gurus. Edsger Dijkstra
engineering programming software
The cheapest, fastest, and most reliable components are those that aren't there. Gordon Bell
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.
engineering building accusation
For decades engineers have stood accused that their buildings do not have any cultural value. We have attempted to liberate engineering of this accusation. Fritz Todt
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 hacking reverse
You can do reverse engineering, but you can’t do reverse hacking. Francis Crick
engineering pilots tests
At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation. Igor Sikorsky
engineering orchids snakes
Every orchid or rose or lizard or snake is the work of a dedicated and skilled breeder. There are thousands of people, amateurs and professionals, who devote their lives to this business. Now imagine what will happen when the tools of genetic engineering become accessible to these people. Freeman Dyson
engineering discipline effort
The first step toward the management of disease was replacement of demon theories and humours theories by the germ theory. That very step, the beginning of hope, in itself dashed all hopes of magical solutions. It told workers that progress would be made stepwise, at great effort, and that a persistent, unremitting care would have to be paid to a discipline of cleanliness. So it is with software engineering today. Fred Brooks
engineering ideas together
Manufacturing is more than just putting parts together. It's coming up with ideas, testing principles and perfecting the engineering, as well as final assembly. James Dyson
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.
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.
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.
