Quotes about engineering
engineering waiting important
Engineering is too important to wait for science. Benoit Mandelbrot
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 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
engineering progress banking
Progress is cumulative in science and engineering, but cyclical in finance. James Grant
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 apples long
The engineering is long gone in most PC companies. In the consumer electronics companies, they don't understand the software parts of it. And so you really can't make the products that you can make at Apple anywhere else right now. Apple's the only company that has everything under one roof. Steve Jobs
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 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 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.
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 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 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 imagination important
Engineering is not quite as important as imagination Satoru Iwata
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 genius improvement
Improvement makes strait roads, but the crooked roads without Improvement, are roads of Genius. William Blake
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 programming software
The cheapest, fastest, and most reliable components are those that aren't there. Gordon Bell
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 magic world
Engineering is the closest thing to magic that exists in the world. Elon Musk
engineering profession
Engineering is a great profession. Herbert Hoover
engineering british given
Historically, the British have always been rather wary of grand engineering projects - perhaps understandably, given that many of them have been delivered late and over budget. Evan Davis
