cheating plans

“In engineering colleges, they have seating plans...And Students have cheating plans.”

― Lovely Goyal

math - engineering

“Math is my Passion. Engineering is my Profession.”

learning by failing

“The way you learn anything is that something fails, and you figure out how not to have it fail again.”

― Robert S. Arrighi

"It is impossible to work in information technology without also engaging in social engineering."

civilization

"The story of civilization is, in a sense, the story of engineering - that long and arduous struggle to make the forces of nature work for man's good."

—L. Sprague de Camp

how to apply it

"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".

—Noam Chomsky

smart

"What's nice about having an engineering degree is everybody thinks you are smart."

—Ato Essandoh

aviation

"Aviation is the branch of engineering that is least forgiving of mistakes."

—Freeman Dyson

women

"It is pure mythology that women cannot perform as well as men in science, engineering and mathematics. In my experience, the opposite is true: Women are often more adept and patient at untangling complex problems, multitasking, seeing the possibilities in new solutions and winning team support for collaborative action".

—Weili Dai

Scott Adams - engineers problems

“Engineers like to solve problems. If there are no problems handily avialable, they will create their own problems.”

― Scott Adams (1952-2001)

ingeniørkunst toner tall ideer utdannelse

«Virkelig ingeniørkunst er som en melodi som spilles forsiktig med rene toner. Ingeniører sjonglerer ofte tall istedenfor ideer. For å etablere et nærmere personlig forhold til våre oppdragsgivere arkitektene ville et kunstnerisk temperament vært en stor fordel. Jeg foreslår at noen tiltak i denne retningen inkluderes i ingeniørutdannelsen»

—Fred Severud

bridge humankind purpose need

"Of all the things created and built by humankind, nothing in my mind is better or worthier than bridges. They belong to all and treat all alike; they are useful, always built for purpose, at a spot where most human needs entwine."
