Quotes about engineering
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.
engineering needs physics
The more physics you have the less engineering you need. Ernest Rutherford
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 bridges iron
There is nothing in machinery, there is nothing in embankments and railways and iron bridges and engineering devices to oblige them to be ugly. Ugliness is the measure of imperfection. H. G. Wells
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 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
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 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 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 foundation students
Therefore, O students, study mathematics and do not build without foundations. Leonardo da Vinci
engineering perfect limited-resources
Engineering isn't about perfect solutions; it's about doing the best you can with limited resources. Randy Pausch
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 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 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
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
