The BJP promised that the end of Article 370 was going to be the close of business-as-usual in Kashmir. But if anything defines business-as-usual, it has been New Delhi’s attempts at political engineering in the Valley.
Social engineering has become about 75% of an average hacker’s toolkit, and for the most successful hackers, it reaches 90% or more.
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.
Information theory began as a bridge from mathematics to electrical engineering and from there to computing.
It’s surreal to think that I own this beautiful island. It doesn’t feel like anyone can own Lanai. What it feels like to me is this really cool 21st-century engineering project, where I get to work with the people of Lanai to create a prosperous and sustainable Eden in the Pacific.
Problem-solving is essential to engineering. Engineers are constantly on the lookout for a better way to do things.
India has the opportunity to be a leader in genetic engineering, It has institutions that no other country has.
The engineering is long gone in most PC companies. In the consumer electronics companies, they don’t understand the software parts of it. And so you really can’t make the products that you can make at Apple anywhere else right now. Apple’s the only company that has everything under one roof.
All leading brands started with and still possess the DNA of innovation and creativity, but it is often limited to one or two areas such as design or engineering. For a company to prosper, it must inject this innovative spirit into every aspect of the business.
I was a journalist’s dream case study; a gobby girl with an accent who was good at engineering.
I have no degree in biochemistry, neither do I have one in mechanical engineering, as the Army saw fit to terminate both courses before they were finished.
I wanted to be an aeronautical engineer. But I didn’t get a good rank, so I got civil engineering.
The cloning of humans is on most of the lists of things to worry about from Science, along with behaviour control, genetic engineering, transplanted heads, computer poetry and the unrestrained growth of plastic flowers.
I studied audio engineering at university. The background I am from, music was never seen as a viable career; it was always a hobby.
No matter what engineering field you’re in, you learn the same basic science and mathematics. And then maybe you learn a little bit about how to apply it.
I pointed out on the floor last year, after Hurricane Katrina, we were very proud that one of our National Guard engineering battalions was called to Louisiana. And they did a magnificent job.
Relying on nothing but scientific knowledge to produce an engineering solution is to invite frustration at best and failure at worst.
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.
Personally I’m more into science and engineering types of things, not so much into testing ‘Star Wars’ myths.
And I’d get back to the cars being physical challenges to drive – to tame the beast. The cars we have at the moment are fantastic bits of engineering, but it’s a little too comfortable, a little too easy. I think I’d go back to making the driver a bigger variable.
I was always interested in water sports, water activities, and engineering.
At Stanford, we teach ‘design thinking’ – that is, we put together small, interdisciplinary groups to figure out what the true needs are and then to apply the art of engineering to serve them.
In our community, we are encouraged to take up professions like medicine or engineering that offer consistency and job security. Acting is not a ‘real’ profession.
I didn’t want to be an electrical engineer. But I did want to go to college. And they said they’d help me pay for it if I’d major in electrical engineering.
I became an environmentalist because I love the living world, but I spend much of my life thinking about electricity, industrial processes and civil engineering.
Most scientific or engineering discoveries would never become successful products without contributions from other scientists or engineers. Every major invention is the child of far-flung parents who may never meet.
Engineering has proven to be one of the most fruitful tracks of study in the job market, as the skills and training developed by an engineering program are far more versatile than many believed.
Rather than engineering our economies solely to maximise GDP, Africa’s business and political leaders must build economies explicitly designed to end poverty and inequality.
Teachers need to be more inspirational. But it’s also up to engineering to make itself more interesting.
Electrical engineering, particularly at MIT, was the hardest major, so I said, ‘You know, how about we try that and see how it goes.’
Sporting competitions seem to be what we obsess over, frankly. So if we can put engineering, science, technology into a format of healthy, fun competition, we can attract all sorts of kids that might not see the kind of activity we do as accessible or rewarding.
I went to Carnegie Mellon and was an electrical engineer, but electrical engineering wasn’t right for me.
Simple genome engineering of bacteria and yeast is just the beginning of the rise of the true biohackers. This is a community of several thousand people, with skill sets ranging from self-taught software hackers to biology postdocs who are impatient with the structure of traditional institutional lab work.
I’ve done eight grades of piano training from Trinity College and also done my sound engineering course.
I’m able to make out the difference in my cricket since I started studying engineering. I can’t explain how or why, but once I’ve started to do engineering my cricket has gone up by leaps and bounds.
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.
With genetic engineering, we will be able to increase the complexity of our DNA, and improve the human race. But it will be a slow process, because one will have to wait about 18 years to see the effect of changes to the genetic code.
At Cisco, we are moving to collaboration teams, groups coming together that represent sales, engineering, finance, legal, etc. And we’re training leaders to think across silos.
There is no one area of chemical engineering that specifically helped me in my career as an astronaut, it was more the general education in engineering. Also, it was a very difficult and rigorous course. So, it made me strong and resourceful.
I was an engineering student and spent a lot of time in the library, and no one applauds when you finish your calculations.
The goal was for me to become a civil engineer. But one day I really felt that it was important for me to do what I really loved. I was really good at engineering, but I didn’t have a passion for it, so going to work was something I had to do, not something that I really wanted to do.
We judge economics by what it can produce. As such, economics is rather more like engineering than physics: more practical than spiritual.
It is possible to get a degree in Engineering by merely passing the exams and not really learning the concepts in depth, and also get a job based on that degree. Similarly, a cricketer can waste the opportunities in the nets and in training, and with some talent still play professional cricket.
I was always intrigued when I was growing up, and then in engineering school, with the idea of a perpetual machine. I think of the Wal-Mart culture as that.
After I did my graduation in mechanical engineering, I got a scholarship to go to the U.S. to do my master’s. So I did that. I also worked there for a while. After my master’s, I did a course in Film Appreciation.
The opening of the Frontier is not an engineering problem. It is not a money problem. It is a challenge to our ability to decide to make it happen and to think and act the right way to get the results we want, we need, we demand.
To be truthful, not much ‘engineering’ goes into the ShamWow!
Business is not just doing deals; business is having great products, doing great engineering, and providing tremendous service to customers. Finally, business is a cobweb of human relationships.
When I got started in my own engineering course, my interest in physics and maths was very high. After all, engineering is all about applied maths and physics. If I were to learn anything further in physics or mathematics, it simply was not there.
During high school, I wanted to work in architecture or engineering for no particular reason.
In 1960, I enrolled in the chemical engineering program at UNAM, as this was then the closest way to become a physical chemist, taking math-oriented courses not available to chemistry majors.
I attended a high school with more than 4,000 students and met with a guidance counselor only once during my four-year stint. Despite my clear strengths in science and math, my counselor’s advice was to pursue a degree in business. A career in engineering was never encouraged nor, in fact, ever mentioned.
