If you look at other countries, you’ll find lots of girls doing physics, engineering, and science. It’s something to do with the kind of culture we have in the English-speaking world about what’s appropriate for each of the two sexes.
During dark times, real entrepreneurs come out. They are not competing with 10 look-alike companies for engineering talent, so it’s a great time to invest and help build companies.
Thirty percent of Americans have German blood in their family. I don’t see any major difference in the engineering abilities of Americans and Germans.
For decades engineers have stood accused that their buildings do not have any cultural value. We have attempted to liberate engineering of this accusation.
I did graduate with a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering in 1948.
In life sciences, we find a reasonable balance between men and women. In engineering and computer science, we have a major problem. A very small percentage of women will be in computer science.
I think the ethics and morals of genetic engineering are very complicated. It intrigues me.
When I came out of Stanford, I looked at my brilliant classmates, who were going into Wall Street high finance, Silicon Valley, advanced engineering, and I said to myself, ‘Jeff, go into an industry where nobody can add.’
Economic engineering is about the design and analysis of frameworks for achieving specific economic objectives.
The key for us is always a multiple-year strategy, and a multiple-year strategy means great products, great customer relationships, and doing solid engineering.
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.
Engineering and mixing are absolutely key. Once a song is done, for me personally, it’s usually two or three days to get the mix down.
‘Social engineering,’ the fancy term for tricking you into giving away your digital secrets, is at least as great a threat as spooky technology.
Being a CEO requires a specific skill set, and a background in engineering equips individuals with the ability to plan logically and make decisions that fit properly within the context of the business.
Social engineering is using manipulation, influence and deception to get a person, a trusted insider within an organization, to comply with a request, and the request is usually to release information or to perform some sort of action item that benefits that attacker.
My dad and my mom convinced me to go into biomedical engineering because they said astronauts going to Mars will need life support systems.
My daughter makes great jewellery and my son wants to pursue engineering. They’ve both been indoctrinated by the school of Linley. People want to get back to painting, building, exploring what their creative sides can do – it’s something all human beings crave.
A National Database on Autism Research is fostering sharing of data and collaborations. Scientists are also making great strides at the interface of biology and engineering with new technologies that are laying the groundwork for future advances.
As you get older, you do reflect more. They were great times, but the biggest thing we all had to deal with a lot more disappointment from an engineering point of view, there was not the reliability that there is now.
A country without engineering skill and knowledge will never become a developed country.
My dad owns a company that lends equipment to industrial projects. I’ve been obsessed with taking it over since I could talk. I’d follow him and repeat conversations about how many tons of cranes were arriving. He said it was a man’s world, so I studied electrical engineering because it was related.
The Web is now philosophical engineering. Physics and the Web are both about the relationship between the small and the large.
We must ensure that girls do not close off career paths by limiting the subjects that they study – this is why continuing to study science, technology, engineering, and maths is so important.
So I went for engineering, specifically product design, which I enjoyed.
Being interested in science and engineering is not a male quality.
Engineering is the art of managing scarcity – it’s easy to design and build a massive bridge that will last forever if cost is not an issue. Similarly, to build a new company, you must manage scarce resources.
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.
Yeah, I think that his great creation was not any one product but a company in which creativity was connected to great engineering. And that will survive at least while the current people who trained under Steve are there.
I wanted to become an engineer and I believed in myself. I was the lone girl to enrol for engineering studies, then. But the college provided me an opportunity to excel in my life.
Google has helped raise the importance of DNS above the network engineering community, which has been really good.
I just want people to be excited about hard stuff, that’s what engineering is.
I was one of the first practitioners of social engineering as a hacking technique, and today it is my only tool of use, aside from a smartphone – in a purely white hat sort of way. But if you don’t trust me, then ask any reasonably competent social engineer.
