Quotes by Engineering The letter e may now no longer be used to denote anything other than this positive universal constant. Edmund Landau engineering letters science … what society overwhelmingly asks for is snake oil. Of course, the snake oil has the most impressive names — otherwise you would be selling nothing — like “Structured Analysis and Design”, “Software Engineering”, “Maturity Models”, “Management Information Systems”, “Integrated Project Support Environments” “Object Orientation” and “Business Process Re-engineering”. Edsger Dijkstra engineering snakes maturity The engineering of consent is the very essence of the democratic process, the freedom to persuade and suggest. Edward Bernays engineering freedom essence Any person or organization depends ultimately on public approval, and is therefore faced with the problem of engineering the public's consent to a program or goal. Edward Bernays engineering organization goal The required techniques of effective reasoning are pretty formal, but as long as programming is done by people that don't master them, the software crisis will remain with us and will be considered an incurable disease. And you know what incurable diseases do: they invite the quacks and charlatans in, who in this case take the form of Software Engineering gurus. Edsger Dijkstra engineering long people We can achieve the utmost in economies by engineering knowledge; we can conquer new fields by research; we can build plants and machines that shall stand among the wonders of the world; but unless we put the right man in the right place-unless we make it possible for our workers and executives alike to enjoy a sense of satisfaction in their jobs, our efforts will have been in vain. Edward Stettinius, Jr. engineering jobs men I have long aspired to make our company a noble prototype of industry, penetrating in science, reliable in engineering, creative in aesthetics and wholesomely prosperous in economics. Edwin Land engineering science long I believe in the unlimited power of women in the context of science and engineering. Elizabeth Holmes engineering unlimited believe Software engineering is not about right and wrong but only better and worse Ellen Ullman software-engineering engineering software I've always written. I'm from an older generation of programmers [who] did not come out of engineering. [A]ll sorts of people were drawn in from the social sciences and humanities. Ellen Ullman engineering humanity people Engineering is the closest thing to magic that exists in the world. Elon Musk engineering magic world To make an embarrassing admission, I like video games. That's what got me into software engineering when I was a kid. I wanted to make money so I could buy a better computer to play better video games. Nothing like saving the world. Elon Musk engineering inspirational kids I don't spend my time pontificating about high-concept things; I spend my time solving engineering and manufacturing problems. Elon Musk engineering problem inspirational 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. Elon Musk cfo engineering inspirational I think of modern marriage as a car strangely fashioned out of an old abandoned horse carriage, built upon the framework of a mule cart. All the original engineering is still there, underneath it all. Elizabeth Gilbert engineering horse thinking My background educationally is physics and economics, and I grew up in sort of an engineering environment - my father is an electromechanical engineer. And so there were lots of engineery things around me. Elon Musk engineering physics father Experimental confirmation of a prediction is merely a measurement. An experiment disproving a prediction is a discovery. Enrico Fermi engineering discovery science Any impatient student of mathematics or science or engineering who is irked by having algebraic symbolism thrust upon him should try to get along without it for a week. Eric Temple Bell engineering symbolism trying A system needs to be alive and workable even when other people than the first enthusiasts start using it. Reinvention and revolution are enthusiast stuff. Invention and evolution are engineering. Erik Naggum engineering people needs All of physics is either impossible or trivial. It is impossible until you understand it, and then it becomes trivial. Ernest Rutherford engineering understanding science «23456789101112»
