Engineer Quotes

For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by things large and small. I wanted to know what made my watch tick, my radio play, and my house stand. I wanted to know who invented the bottle cap and who designed the bridge. I guess from early on I wanted to be an engineer Picture Quote #1

My childhood dream was to study mechanical engineering. After reading ‘The Mysterious Island’ - which I read 25 times as a boy - I thought that was the best thing a person could do. The engineer in the book knows mechanics and physics, and he creates a whole way of life on the island out of nothing. I wanted to be like that Picture Quote #1

If we study learning as a data science, we can reverse engineer the human brain and tailor learning techniques to maximize the chances of student success. This is the biggest revolution that could happen in education, turning it into a data-driven science, and not such a medieval set of rumors professors tend to carry on Picture Quote #1

My first book, ‘To Engineer Is Human,’ was prompted by nonengineer friends asking me why so many technological accidents and failures were occurring. If engineers knew what they were doing, why did bridges and buildings fall down? It was a question that I had often asked myself, and I had no easy answer Picture Quote #1

As the son of a racing car designer and mechanical engineer, I was exposed to motorsports from day one Picture Quote #1

I loved problems on paper, and I was good at math, but I was a mechanical engineer, and I never understood - or cared to - how a car worked Picture Quote #1

There’s a preponderance of scientists and engineers among China’s rulers. New President Xi Jinping was trained as a chemical engineer. His predecessor, Hu Jintao, earned a degree in hydraulic engineering. His predecessor, Jiang Zemin, held a degree in electrical engineering Picture Quote #1

Everyone who gives up a serious childhood dream -- of becoming an artist, a doctor, an engineer, an athlete -- lives the rest of their life with a sense of loss, with nagging what ifs, Picture Quote #1

I’ll tell you something: my dad was a nuclear engineer and he was really bright, and I’ve always said that because of negotiating at such a young age with my dad, it was really such a gift because I could then negotiate with very difficult personalities - and not end up being the scapegoat. I learned to really pick and choose my battles Picture Quote #1

The human body was designed by a civil engineer. Who else would run a toxic waste pipeline through a recreational area ? Picture Quote #1

I would say the most help I got was from my dad. My dad is a civil engineer in Switzerland; he’s 90 years old now, so he’s no longer active as a civil engineer, but still a very active person Picture Quote #1

When I was little, I wanted to be a civil engineer. Not a ballerina, not a doctor, a civil engineer. I was such a nerd Picture Quote #1

My dad wanted me to be a professional person, which I was - I was a civil engineer. I graduated from civil engineering at USC in California. I became an engineer, and I helped design the roads for the L.A. County Roads Department. And I did that for about one and a half years in a sense to please my parents - to be a ‘respectable’ person Picture Quote #1

I’m the classic example of alienation: I grew up in a middle-class household without art or books. I was going to be a chemical engineer until I went to the theatre for the first time at 16 and was blown away by it Picture Quote #1

I’m not even an engineer. I don’t have a college degree; I hire guys with college degrees Picture Quote #1

I went to military college in Canada and graduated as an officer in the Navy but also as an engineer Picture Quote #1

My goal wasn’t to make a ton of money. It was to build good computers. I only started the company when I realized I could be an engineer forever Picture Quote #1

It’s a battle between record company, between producer and between mastering engineer. Because the louder you make your record in a digital process, the more dynamics are squished out of it. Nobody knows exactly what happens, but the dynamics in the performance disappear, and everything is at the same volume Picture Quote #1

Complexity is not a goal. I don’t want to be remembered as an engineer of complex systems Picture Quote #1

I’m not really a knob-twiddler. I always work with an engineer; I’m not super hands-on when it comes to mixing boards and computers. I’m much more about what I’m hearing and what it needs to be like. I deal with songs and ideas and instruments Picture Quote #1

My brother is an electrical engineer and went to computer science grad school at Stanford, and he’d tell me stories about the happy hours he’d organize Picture Quote #1

I’m a physicist and computer scientist by training. I worked in high tech for thirty years as everything from engineer to senior vice president - for many of those years, writing SF as a hobby - until, in 2004, I began writing full time Picture Quote #1

Using the Internet to secure employment is as vital to a construction worker as it is to a software engineer Picture Quote #1

I was a good student with mathematical ability and interests. As such, I took the usual college preparatory program in high school for one looking to become an engineer: all the available courses in mathematics and science Picture Quote #1

Engineering stimulates the mind. Kids get bored easily. They have got to get out and get their hands dirty: make things, dismantle things, fix things. When the schools can offer that, you’ll have an engineer for life Picture Quote #1

My parents have mellowed quite a bit, but, growing up, there was a sense that the only real professions were doctor, engineer, lawyer. Those were your choices Picture Quote #1
