It is contrary to the usual practice of professional men to give their opinions upon each other’s work unless regularly called upon in the way of their profession.

We use to call on a customer and engineering was in one part of the building, purchasing in another and manufacturing in another. With one visit we could talk to all of them.

In literature, too, we admire prose in which a small and astutely arranged set of words has been constructed to carry a large consignment of ideas. ‘We all have strength enough to bear the misfortunes...

Incurable diseases will eventually force mankind to justify disruptive nanotech and genetic engineering.

I have been branded with folly and madness for attempting what the world calls impossibilities, and even from the great engineer, the late James Watt, who said … that I deserved hanging for bringing into...

It’s really quite clever, … It uses realistic file names and sends those to people you know. It’s social engineering, just like we saw with Love Letter.

The trick to having good ideas is not to sit around in glorious isolation and try to think big thoughts. The trick is to get more parts on the table.

Our transportation-engineering group has been looking at those signs for a few years.

E per tutto il giorno mi riempivano la testa di stronzate che volevano farmi tenere a mente, come ad esempio le equazioni per calcolare la distanza fra il posto dove ci trovavamo e quelle in...

The engineering is secondary to the vision.

I didn’t have a drill, so I had to make my own. First I heated a long nail in the fire, then drove it through a half a maize cob, creating a handle. I placed...

We’ve got the projects identified, … Within the next few weeks the engineering staff and the finance staff will re-evaluate our entire capital improvements program.

One of my friends compared me to Bruce Banner, due to my work with radiation and human health. So I looked up Bruce Banner and this is what I found: Banner, a physicist, is sarcastic...

Before we went I wasn’t sure if I wanted to go into engineering, but now that I went there and spent 36 hours doing design work and I’m still motivated about it, it’s obviously something...

[John] Kobak explained, ‘The way you learn anything is that something fails, and you figure out how not to have it fail again.

If I were king, I would redress an abuse which cuts back, as it were, one half of human kind. I would have women participate in all human rights, especially those of the mind.

The reason for the difference between the architectural and engineering ‘climate’, so to speak, is very complex. It is partly a matter of terminology, partly a matter of historical accident, and the consequent training of...

There was no room for dust devils in the laws of physics, as least in the rigid form in which they were usually taught. There is a kind of unspoken collusion going on in mainstream...

Math is my Passion. Engineering is my Profession.

HOV lanes and public transportation is social engineering. You know it is. They want to get people out of their cars. Maybe that’s a necessity in King County, but it’s not a necessity in Pacific...

That’s where we have our engineering and product development resources. We’ll be able to provide better service there.

The facts are startling: in Germany, 36% of undergraduates receive their degrees in science and engineering. In China, the figure is 59%, and in Japan 66%. In the United States, the corresponding figure is 32%,...

These comments recall Turkle’s distinction between two kinds of “transparency” in technological cultures. Modernist transparency is the notion that users can and should have access to the inner workings of a technology. It evokes the...

From the engineering point of view (the brain) looks sloppy and gooey and slapped together.

The path to the CEO’s office should not be through the CFO’s office, and it should not be through the marketing department. It needs to be through engineering and design.

Mistral’s forte has always been its expertise as a single source for both hardware and software engineering in the embedded domain. The qualification strengthens our ability to provide high-quality services for embedded product design and...

This site is an engineering problem, to say the least.

An algorithm must be seen to be believed.

Aldus Barnes, a structural engineer by training and member of the Advanced Geometry Unit (AGU) at Arup, has formed many successful collaborations and earned a prominent place for himself in architecture by adopting the language...

[Ayala did not have an estimate on how much Microsoft is investing on specific engineering for midsize firms, however.] We have people doing it full-time, … I don’t have any number to quote.

I don’t spend my time pontificating about high-concept things; I spend my time solving engineering and manufacturing problems.

Editör Hanım, ‘Otuz beş yaşında mühendisliği bıraktı ve kendini edebiyata verdi.’ cümlesinin biyografimde güzel duracağını düşündüğüm için işimden istifa ettim. Küçük burjuvaların kayda değer lükslerden biri de kendi biyografilerini hayal edebilmeleri ve bazı şeyleri sırf...

We have got serious engineering challenges there. Until we can determine it’s cost-effective to build on that site, we’re withdrawing it.

Indeed, “brute force” solutions are often characteristic of advanced cultures, not primitive ones. The Romans and their predecessors spent a long time figuring out how to build arches… and virtually all our buildings today use...
