Quotes by Engineering Teachers need to be more inspirational. But it's also up to engineering to make itself more interesting. Bruce Dickinson engineeringteacherinteresting Don't ask me to put up a shelf, but I love engineering. Bruce Dickinson engineeringshelvesask-me This is not the internet the world needs, or the internet its creators envisioned. We need to take it back. And by we, I mean the engineering community. Bruce Schneier engineeringcommunitymean Mile tracks put more emphasis on the driver. On the longer tracks, you can drive flat out all the way around, so it's more of an engineering exercise. On a mile, you can't run flat out. You're constantly in traffic, there's more driver involvement. Buddy Rice engineeringexerciserunning There's no doubt who was a leader in space after the Apollo Program. Nobody came close to us. And our education system, in science, technology, engineering and math, was at the top of the world. It's no longer there. We're descending rather rapidly. Buzz Aldrin engineeringtechnologymath For the future, primarily, we must educate people in science, engineering, technology and math. Buzz Aldrin engineeringtechnologymath The sand should be neither coarse nor fine but of a middling quality or about the size of the common pop(p)y seed. If the sand is too coarse the mortar will be short or brittle . . . If the sand is too fine the cement will shrink and crack after it has been used. Canvass White engineeringcracksquality The valuable properties of this cement depend in a great measure on the mode of preparing it for use. The mixing should therefore be conducted with care in order to form a perfect union of the powdered cement, sand and water. This can be best accomplished by the use of the New England corn hoe on a board floor or by beating with a hand stamper; not much labour is required if properly applied. Mechanics can judge when the mixture is perfect by the appearance of the mortar, which, when properly prepared, very much resembles putty. Canvass White engineeringorderhands This cement can be used in any situation and for any purpose to which any other mortar or hydraulic cement can be applied. It does not become perfectly hard within one or two months. Canvass White engineeringdoetwo To every bushel of the powdered cement add one bushel of sand, mix them together and pass them through a sieve, then add a sufficient quantity of water to make it (by well mixing and working) about the consistency of a soft putty. It is then fit to use but should not be kept more than six or eight hours and should be thoroughly worked just before it is used. Canvass White engineeringeightwater [An engineer's] invention causes things to come into existence from ideas, makes world conform to thought; whereas science, by deriving ideas from observation, makes thought conform to existence. Carl Mitcham engineeringscienceideas I studied engineering in the national university, the Universidad Autonoma, in San Ildefonso. Carlos Slim universityengineering One of the great inventions of the twentieth century was the studied, methodical engineering of myth for political ends. Caryl Rivers engineeringgreat-inventionspolitical Knowing there is a structure, hidden or felt, to the random gives pleasure. Cecil Balmond engineeringknowinggiving When I became the NASA administrator — or before I became the NASA administrator — Barack Obama charged me with three things. One was he wanted me to help re-inspire children to want to get into science and math, he wanted me to expand our international relationships, and third, and perhaps foremost, he wanted me to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science … and math and engineering. Charles Bolden engineeringmathchildren A lawyer’s either a social engineer or … a parasite on society … A social engineer [is] a highly skilled, perceptive, sensitive lawyer who [understands] the Constitution of the United States and [knows] how to explore its uses in the solving of problems of local communities and in bettering conditions of the underprivileged citizens. Charles Hamilton Houston engineeringcommunityamerica The notion that better engineering can solve all our problems is rooted in an ignorance of non-linear systems and selective/wishful thinking. Charles Hugh Smith engineeringignorancethinking A problem well stated is a problem half-solved. Charles Kettering engineeringinnovationcreativity If we taught music the way we try to teach engineering, in an unbroken four year course, we could end up with all theory and no music. When we study music, we start to practice from the beginning, and we practice for the entire time. Charles Kettering engineeringteachingyears This attempt to ban smoking is an example of social engineering on a vast scale. Such massive intervention in the private lives and choices of one quarter of our adult population recalls the extremism of Prohibition, the last national crusade against a supposed social evil.
