Engineering serendipity is this idea that we can help people come across unexpected but helpful connections at a better than random rate. And in some ways it's based on trying to reassess this notion of serendipitous as lucky - to think of serendipitous as smart. Ethan Zuckerman
People Better Smart Random Engineering Think Ways Some Rate Idea Come Than Trying Unexpected Across Notion Help Help People Serendipity Helpful Connections Lucky Based
Historically, the British have always been rather wary of grand engineering projects - perhaps understandably, given that many of them have been delivered late and over budget. Evan Davis
Engineering Late Projects Rather Given Delivered Over Budget Perhaps Always Been Historically Grand Them Many Wary British
I went to engineering school, which I thought was what I wanted to do, for about two weeks. We had an orientation class and we met this guy where he worked and stuff and it was cool, but I was like, 'There is no way this is going to be my life.' Evan Glodell
Life Class School Thought My Life Met Engineering Way About Guy Weeks Had He Stuff Like Going Where Wanted Which Worked Cool Orientation Two Two Weeks
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
Physics Degree Understanding Engineering Structure Practical Underlying Learn Got However Than Decided Realised Interest Theoretical Less Applications
I taught at the FBI for four decades - how to think outside of the box and deal with social engineering. Frank Abagnale

There is a new hunger in the air for automotive design and looking to where automobiles are going in the future. Tesla will capture this through good design and engineering. Franz von Holzhausen
Future Good Will Looking Engineering Design Air Hunger Through New Tesla Going Where Automobiles Capture
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. Freeman A. Hrabowski III
Life Balance Science Women Problem Will Men Men And Women Computer Science Engineering Find Percentage Small Computer Between Major Major Problem Sciences Very Reasonable
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

In these highways our engineering will reflect the National Socialist movement. Fritz Todt
Will National Reflect Engineering Our Highways Movement Socialist
As part of our dedication to safety engineering in biology, we're trying to get better at creating physically contained test systems to develop something that eventually will be so biologically contained that we won't need physical containment anymore. George M. Church
Better Safety Will Engineering Dedication Biology Our Systems Physical Something Physically Develop Part Contained Test Get Trying Anymore Creating Eventually Biologically Need
The best thing that ever happened to me is that nothing happened in writing. I ended up working for engineering companies, and that's where I found my material, in the everyday struggle between capitalism and grace. Being broke and tired, you don't come home your best self. George Saunders
Best Home Me Tired You Capitalism Struggle Writing Grace Nothing Engineering Everyday Broke Self Between Come Material Up Ended Being Where Happened Being Broke Working Your Companies Found Ever Thing
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
Life Me Strange Engineer My Life Engineering Think Society Our Out Has-Been Jobs About More Throughout Make Course Been Effect Lot Done Little Capitalist Capitalist Society Started
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
Me You School Problems Engineering Think Took Everything Latin Kid Tried Solve Stayed Could Take Because Felt Understand Then Worked If I Could Root Teaches Reason Why
I progressed through my schooling, undergraduate and graduate degrees, excited about math and science and engineering, but really didn't think about being an astronaut at that point. It was kind of unreachable. Gregory H. Johnson
Science Engineering Think Astronaut Kind Degrees About Unreachable Point Through Excited Schooling Undergraduate Math Math And Science Graduate Being Really
When I started flying, I realized how enjoyable it was, and flying became my main focus while engineering went on the back burner. Gregory H. Johnson
Focus Engineering Back Flying Main Main Focus Became How Burner While Realized Enjoyable Started
They don't hand out Ph.D.s in test piloting, but you pick up a tremendous amount of scientific and engineering knowledge along the way. After all, when you take up a brand new plane and put it through its paces to see if it will hang together, you are really flying somebody's theory. Gus Grissom
Knowledge You Together Will Somebody Engineering Tremendous Tremendous Amount Way Flying Out See Through Take Pick Put New Along Scientific Test Hand Up Brand Brand New Hang After Plane Really Theory Amount
There is nothing in machinery, there is nothing in embankments and railways and iron bridges and engineering devices to oblige them to be ugly. Ugliness is the measure of imperfection. H. G. Wells
Ugly Nothing Engineering Machinery Oblige Imperfection Devices Ugliness Iron Them Measure Bridges Railways
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. Hasso Plattner
Art Needs Together Engineering Design Thinking Out Small Put True Them Then Teach Figure Stanford Groups Serve Apply
I would encourage anybody who's interested in any kind of science, engineering, math field, to go after that. Heidi Hammel
Science Field Engineering Kind Would Go Math Encourage Any Anybody After Interested
The definition of 'safe' is not strictly an engineering term; it's a societal term. Does it mean absolutely no loss of life? Does it mean absolutely no contamination with radiation? What exactly does 'safe' mean? Henry Petroski
Life Engineering Strictly Definition Exactly Absolutely Term Contamination Safe Does Loss Mean Radiation Societal
Because they are so humbled by their creations, engineers are naturally conservative in their expectations of technology. They know that the perfect system is the stuff of science fiction, not of engineering fact, and so everything must be treated with respect. Henry Petroski
Technology Respect Science Conservative Engineering Everything System Must Fact Perfect Stuff Know Because Science Fiction Expectations Fiction Creations Naturally Engineers Treated Humbled
