Today over half of China's undergraduate degrees are in math science technology and engineering yet only 16 percent of America's undergraduates pursue these schools.

This is a global fight to get the right people in the right place and we're talking about people with PhDs in engineering computer science mathematics.

The modern mind tends to be more and more critical and analytical in spirit hence it must devise for itself an engine of expression which is logically defensible at every point and which tends to correspond to the rigorous spirit of modern science.

I think people are realizing that engineering and science are extremely good degrees to get and you'll be very highly paid once you've got them.

Millions of people were inspired by the Apollo Program. I was five years old when I watched Apollo 11 unfold on television and without any doubt it was a big contributor to my passions for science engineering and exploration.

I was always fascinated by engineering. Maybe it was an attempt maybe to get my father's respect or interest or maybe it was just a genetic love of technology but I was always trying to build things.

The engine of ancient society was religion but the engine of contemporary society as I see it is advertising.

I do engineering not religion.

The Web is now philosophical engineering. Physics and the Web are both about the relationship between the small and the large.

When we are sick we want an uncommon doctor when we have a construction job to do we want an uncommon engineer and when we are at war we want an uncommon general. It is only when we get into politics that we are satisfied with the common man.

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 scientifically engineer my music to be as accessible as possible.

What's important at the grocery store is just as important in engines or medical systems. If the customer isn't satisfied if the stuff is getting stale if the shelf isn't right or if the offerings aren't right it's the same thing. You manage it like a small organization. You don't get hung up on zeros.

Having federal officials whether judges bureaucrats or congressmen impose a new definition of marriage on the people is an act of social engineering profoundly hostile to liberty.

I had a lot of trouble with engineers because their whole background is learning from a functional point of view and then learning how to perform that function.

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.

The study of history and philosophy accompanied by some acquaintance with art and literature should be for lawyers and engineers as well as for those who study in arts faculties.

The great and abiding lesson of American history particularly the cold war is that the engine of capitalism the individual is mightier than any collective.

I do not think it is an exaggeration to say history is largely a history of inflation usually inflations engineered by governments for the gain of governments.

Jobs are disappearing from every sector of the economy from engineering to health care workers forcing hundreds of thousands of families into unemployment and low-paying jobs.

I don't have the recipe for happiness but I think the engine is simply having the desire.

Scientists dream about doing great things. Engineers do them.

I think I finally chose the graduate degree in engineering primarily because it only took one year and law school took three years and I felt the pressure of being a little behind - although I was just 22.

I did graduate with a bachelor's degree in civil engineering in 1948.
