Quotes by Engineering Biotech and geo engineering have the same mindset, of engineering, of power, of control, of mastery of nature. Vandana Shiva engineeringmasterymindset The idea of engineering is an idea of mastery. And today the role that we are being asked to play is a role based on informed humanity. Vandana Shiva engineeringplayideas The role of geo-engineering should, in a world of responsibility, in a world of scientifically enlightened decision making and ecological understanding, it should be zero. There is no role for geo-engeneering. Because what is geoengineering but extending the engineering paradigm? Vandana Shiva engineeringzeroresponsibility Science progresses best when observations force us to alter our preconceptions. Vera Rubin engineeringprogressscience 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 graduatesengineeringkansas Now the main areas of higher education that still enjoy considerable financial support from government are subjects like engineering and science and the research ringfence which is the basic minimum to protect Britain's scientific competitiveness. Vince Cable engineeringsupportgovernment There has been a substitution of ideology for fact and scientific and engineering data in this administration. Vinton Cerf engineeringdataadministration Russia and China also cooperate in mechanical engineering, high-speed railway transportation, lumber processing, nuclear energy production and so on. We have built the Tianwan Nuclear Power Plant. Two units are already operational and are showing good results. Vladimir Putin engineeringrussiatwo Science has discovered much. The engineering is wonderful, epicycles and all. And yet, as we look at this vast, elaborate structure built on layer and layer of complex constituents, can we help but be reminded of the Land of Oz. Have we found the Emerald City? Is this what we were searching for? Is this the ultimate fabric of reality? Is this all there is? Walker Evans engineeringsciencereality 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 engineeringeconomicdone Aeroplanes are not designed by science, but by art in spite of some pretence and humbug to the contrary. I do not mean to suggest that engineering can do without science, on the contrary, it stands on scientific foundations, but there is a big gap between scientific research and the engineering product which has to be bridged by the art of the engineer. Walter Guido Vincenti engineeringmeanart Engineers use knowledge primarily to design, produce, and operate artifacts. ... Scientists, by contrast, use knowledge primarily to generate more knowledge. Walter Guido Vincenti engineeringscienceknowledge Architecture begins where engineering ends. Walter Gropius engineeringdesignarchitecture I think one problem we've had is that people who are smart and creative and innovative as engineers went into financial engineering. Walter Isaacson engineeringsmartthinking No effect that requires more than 10 percent accuracy in measurement is worth investigating. Walther Nernst engineeringmeasurementscience Shipping first time code is like going into debt. A little debt speeds development so long as it is paid back promptly with a rewrite. The danger occurs when the debt is not repaid. Every minute spent on not-quite-right code counts as interest on that debt. Entire engineering organizations can be brought to a standstill under the debt load of an unconsolidated implementation, object-oriented or otherwise. Ward Cunningham engineeringorganizationlong Perhaps the best reason to consider the hard sciences is that, well, one study suggests science, engineering, medicine, and dentistry graduates live longer than arts graduates (or law grads). So whatever money you make you can keep a bit longer. Warren Farrell engineeringlawart Companies like I.B.M. have offered women scholarships to study engineering for years, and women engineers routinely get higher starting salaries than men. Warren Farrell engineeringmenyears In science, technology, engineering and mathematics, men far outnumber women in the classroom and the boardroom. Weili Dai engineeringtechnologymen George Washington was quite a farmer. He was a farmer, Civil Engineer and gentleman. He made enough at civil engineering to indulge in both the other luxuries.
