I don’t really like to talk specifically about customers by name – but we work with nearly all the leading manufacturers of consumer products worldwide and at quite a detailed engineering level. – David Milne
Instead of an attic with a few test tubes, bits of wire and odds and ends, the attack on the atomic nucleus has required the development and construction of great instruments on an engineering scale. – Ernest Lawrence
I’m the kid that tried to take Latin in school because I felt if I could understand the root of everything, then I could understand why it worked. That was what took me into engineering. And the reason I stayed is, engineering teaches you to solve problems. It teaches you to think. – Ginni Rometty
Indeed, the woes of Software Engineering are not due to lack of tools, or proper management, but largely due to lack of sufficient technical competence. – Niklaus Wirth
From here, it becomes an engineering problem; the engineer considers the ground motion that will occur and evaluates the requirements of the proposed structure in the light of the local foundation conditions. – Charles Francis Richter
I started out in engineering. I was a geophysical engineer. Throughout the course of my life I’ve done a lot of strange jobs, and the effect has been to make me think a little more skeptically about our capitalist society. – George Saunders
Art Nouveau got its inspiration from nature. The Bauhaus got its inspiration from engineering. – P. J. O’Rourke
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. – Nina Fedoroff
In 1989, I retired from Bell Laboratories to become a full-time writer. Not that I didn’t enjoy my engineering career, but rather I liked being a novelist just a bit better. – Dennis L. McKiernan
I wanted to further my education, so I went on to get a Ph.D. in electrical engineering and came back and served about ten years in the Canadian Navy as what we call a combat systems engineer. – Marc Garneau
The form a city assumes as it evolves over time owes more to large-scale works of civil engineering – what we now call infrastructure – than almost any other factor save topography. – Martin Filler
In 2008, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded for work done on a molecule called green fluorescent protein that was isolated from the bioluminescent chemistry of a jellyfish, and it’s been equated to the invention of the microscope in terms of the impact that it has had on cell biology and genetic engineering. – Edith Widder
We will have to make a decision, as we go into new environments outside of earth, whether we want to drag along with us all our pathogens. We can, or we can’t – it’s up to us – but I consider that part of genome engineering is how we interact with the huge part of our genome which is our microbiome. – George M. Church
I don’t spend my time pontificating about high-concept things; I spend my time solving engineering and manufacturing problems. – Elon Musk
American citizens and communities should be free to choose where they would like to live and not be subject to federal neighborhood engineering at the behest of an overreaching federal government. – Paul Gosar
The social and physical construction of suburban America really was quite complex. It was a very elaborate system, and clearly a massive social engineering project that has changed U.S. society enormously. – Noam Chomsky
I believe that Detroit has a terrific geographic position. It still is a hub of one of the most important industries in the world. There’s incredible engineering and other talent. – Daniel L. Doctoroff
In terms of development of the company, the vast majority of our sales are in the Far East and we will expect to strengthen our activities there, perhaps even moving some of our engineering activities abroad. – David Milne
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
I do quite like Gehry’s Guggenheim. But where in Bilbao it’s seen as an outgrowth of years of investment in urban design and engineering, in Britain it’s seen as the catalyst for urban regeneration rather than the icing on the cake. – David Chipperfield
In 1955, I got my degree in electrical-mechanical engineering. I realised, however, that my interest was less in practical applications than in the understanding of the underlying theoretical structure, and I decided to learn physics. – Francois Englert
My dad is from Panama; he came to the U.S. in 1971. He came to study chemical engineering at the University of Delaware. He thought he would go back, and then he met my mom here. I was born and mostly raised in Delaware. – Cristina Henriquez
Unless there is one master gene for yield, which I’m guessing there is not, engineering for yield will be very complex. It may happen eventually, but through the coming decades, we must assume that gene engineering will not be the answer to the world’s food problems. – Norman Borlaug
The theory of mechanism design can be thought of as the ‘engineering’ side of economic theory. – Eric Maskin
For decades engineers have stood accused that their buildings do not have any cultural value. We have attempted to liberate engineering of this accusation. – Fritz Todt
