At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.Collection: Engineering
Engineering is the closest thing to magic that exists in the world.Collection: Engineering
Genetic engineering has never been about saving the world, it's about controlling the world.Collection: Engineering
The more physics you have the less engineering you need.Collection: Engineering
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.Collection: Engineering
Spread the truth-the laws of economics are like the laws of engineering. One set of laws works everywhere.Collection: Engineering
All attempts at artificial aviation are not only dangerous to human life, but foredoomed to failure from the engineering standpoint.Collection: Engineering
Advanced engineering always, like advanced everything else, brings down upon it the discredit of ridicule of minds who cannot see so far.Collection: Engineering
I have succeeded in getting my actual work down to thirty minutes a day. That leaves me eighteen hours for engineering.Collection: Engineering
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.Collection: Engineering
The engineer's power was usually limited to a refusal to endorse a given plan, or to the tender of his resignation.Collection: Engineering
Engineering, like poetry, is an attempt to approach perfection. And engineers, like poets, are seldom completely satisfied with their creations. They notice, even if no one else does, the world that is not quite le mot juste, or the hairline crack that blemishes the structure.Collection: Engineering
Failure is Central to engineering. Every single calculation that an engineer makes is a failure calculation.Collection: Engineering
What is commonly overlooked in using the computer is the fact that the central goal of design is still to obviate failure, and thus it is critical to identify exactly how a structure may fail. The computer cannot do this by itself . . .Collection: Engineering
A failed structure provides a counterexample to a hypothesis and shows us incontrovertibly what cannot be done, while a structure that stands without incident often conceals whatever lessons or caveats it might hold for the next generation of engineers.Collection: Engineering
Never in the annals of software engineering was so much owed by so many to so few lines of codeCollection: Engineering
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.Collection: Engineering
Scientists study the world as it is, engineers create the world that never has been.Collection: Engineering
Science is the study of what Is, Engineering builds what Will Be. The scientist merely explores that which exists, while the engineer creates what has never existed before.Collection: Engineering
The cheapest, fastest, and most reliable components are those that aren't there.Collection: Engineering
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.Collection: Engineering
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.Collection: Engineering
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.Collection: Engineering
Engineering is a creative practice.Collection: Engineering
It so happens that the work which is likely to be our most durable monument, and to convey some knowledge of us to the most remote posterity, is a work of bare utility; not a shrine, not a fortress, not a palace, but a bridge.Collection: Engineering
One person's "paranoia" is another person's "engineering redundancy."Collection: Engineering
What is innovation if not our ticket to every business interest in the world? Its the ticket to solving the worlds problems - the energy problems, the pollution problems, the global warming problems. If it isnt for science and engineering, how will we compete in the new world?Collection: Engineering
Go for civil engineering, because civil engineering is the branch of engineering which teaches you the most about managing people. Managing people is a skill which is very, very useful and applies almost regardless of what you do.Collection: Engineering
Style is engineering that gives you freedom.Collection: Engineering
The first time you do something, it's science. The second time, it's engineering. The third time, it's just being a technician. I'm a scientist. Once I do something, I want to do something else.Collection: Engineering
I am going to design, in a great hurry, and I believe to build a station after my own fancy; that is, with engineering roofs, etc. etc. It is at Paddington, in cutting, and admitting of no exterior, all interior and all roofed in.Collection: Engineering
Engineering is the application of scientific principles toward practical ends. If the engineering isn't practical, it's bad engineering.Collection: Engineering
Knowing there is a structure, hidden or felt, to the random gives pleasure.Collection: Engineering
Productivity is most important by engineering management rules, but enjoyment is most important for engineers. One stems from the other.Collection: Engineering
The central activity of engineering, as distinguished from science, is the design of new devices, processes and systems.Collection: Engineering
At MakerBot, we joke that if we were engineers we would still be on our first prototype. There's something about just 'Doing it”iteration is a way of engineering.Collection: Engineering
Enlightened social engineering is required to face situations that demand global action now.Collection: Engineering
Software Engineering is that part of Computer Science which is too difficult for the Computer Scientist.Collection: Engineering
There are fewer Arabs in Tel Aviv, one of the largest cities in the Middle East, than there are in Chicago, the largest city in the American Midwest. How do you accomplish such a remarkable feat of social engineering without massive violence?Collection: Engineering
Progress is cumulative in science and engineering, but cyclical in finance.Collection: Engineering
If I were 21 years old, I would go into biotechnology or genetic engineering.Collection: Engineering
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.Collection: Engineering
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.Collection: Engineering
One of the really remarkably beneficial aspects of genetic engineering is that much of the previous methodology for controlling pests and so forth is through chemicals that affect a very broad spectrum of insects, for example, or fungicides that control fungi.Collection: Engineering
We don’t care about what you did yesterday—we care about what you’re going to do tomorrow.Collection: Engineering
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.Collection: Engineering
For decades engineers have stood accused that their buildings do not have any cultural value. We have attempted to liberate engineering of this accusation.Collection: Engineering
For decades engineers have stood accused that their buildings do not have any cultural value. We have attempted to liberate engineering of this accusation. As National Socialists we are dedicated to working with boldness, but also with love of the Volk and our landscape in mind. These roads do not serve transportation alone, they also bind our Fatherland. In these highways our engineering will reflect the National Socialist movement.Collection: Engineering
Engineering is not quite as important as imagination.Collection: Engineering
