Quotes by Engineering Improvement makes strait roads, but the crooked roads without Improvement, are roads of Genius. William Blake engineeringgeniusimprovement No matter that astronauts and cosmonauts had perished in precisely designed and carefully tested machines. Solid engineering could always provide a safety margin, because the engineers believed, there was complete safety in numbers. William E. Burrows engineeringsafetynumbers When you want to know how things really work, study them when they're coming apart. William Gibson engineeringdesignwant The trauma of 9/11 stimulated infinite possibilities for worry - some quite plausible, but most inspired by remote what-if fantasies. A society bingeing on fear makes itself vulnerable to far more profound forms of destruction than terror attacks. The "terrorism war", like a nostalgic echo of the cold war, is using these popular fears to advance a different agenda - the re-engineering of American life through permanent mobilization. William Greider engineeringechoeswar Considering the current sad state of our computer programs, software development is clearly still a black art, and cannot yet be called an engineering discipline. William J. Clinton engineeringtechnologyart Techniques such as genetic engineering, psychoactive drugs and electronic control of the brain make possible a transformation of the species into docile, fully-obedient, 'safe' organisms. William Sims engineeringdrugbrain We are being colonised without New Zealanders having some say in the numbers of people coming in and where they are coming from. This is a deliberate policy of ethnic engineering and re-population. Winston Peters engineeringnumberspeople We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us. Winston Churchill engineeringshapesleadership What need the bridge much broader than the flood? William Shakespeare engineeringbridgesneeds I went to school at night in L.A. to brush up on my engineering while I applied to the astronaut program. I really did not know if I would get in. It was the year after the Challenger accident in 1987. Mae Jemison knowengineeringnightschool I realized mechanical engineering doesn't much lend itself to missionary work. Tom Catena realizedmechanicalengineeringwork Successful engineering is all about understanding how things break or fail. Henry Petroski howthingsengineeringunderstanding Science is about knowing; engineering is about doing. Henry Petroski doingengineeringknowingscience There's a preponderance of scientists and engineers among China's rulers. New President Xi Jinping was trained as a chemical engineer. His predecessor, Hu Jintao, earned a degree in hydraulic engineering. His predecessor, Jiang Zemin, held a degree in electrical engineering. Ramez Naam newengineeringengineerspresident The walls between art and engineering exist only in our minds. Theo Jansen wallsonlyengineeringart I knew I wanted to be an engineer, but I didn't know what type of engineer. I chose electrical engineering primarily because it was the hardest one to get into. It's ridiculous when I think about it now, but it worked out OK. Steve Mollenkopf thinkknowelectricalengineering I'm quite into the idea of engineering being beautiful. Sean Booth being-beautifulengineeringbeautiful Modern genetic engineering makes producing GMO food products relatively easy. GMOs can improve crop yield and greatly enhance the nutritional value of those same crops. Richard J. Roberts valueengineeringeasyfood We haven't shed our engineering pragmatism, so we accomplish things in the simplest manner possible. It helps with budget, obviously. We're not getting rich off web video, and we're supporting two families with our income, so we need to keep as much of the budget to ourselves. Rhett McLaughlin needthingsengineeringrich Changes to weather patterns that move crop production areas around - we'll adapt to that. It's an engineering problem, and it has engineering solutions.
