I think through education belief in God and good engineering our children become a lot better at what they're doing than we did and that starts with the very first sign of life on the face of this earth.

I am going to design... a Station after my own fancy that is with engineering roofs etc.

Biological engineering is not necessarily understanding systems but rather I want to be able to design and build biological systems to perform particular applications.

My training as an engineer has enabled me to design the stuff but the reason I do it is not to make music but for the opportunity to work with musicians.

So I went for engineering specifically product design which I enjoyed.

We worked with the engineers in the design and construction and testing phases in those various areas then we would get back together at the end of the week and brief each other as to what had gone on.

I'm not into politics but I am committed to a cause: ensuring design technology and engineering stays on the U.K. curriculum alongside science and maths - grounding abstract theory merging the practical with the academic.

Britain's great strength is its innovative design and engineering natural ability and we're not using it.

A good scientist is a person with original ideas. A good engineer is a person who makes a design that works with as few original ideas as possible. There are no prima donnas in engineering.

My dad was an engineer and so I had this picture of science and technology and pursuits of the mind as being more impressive than artistic pursuits which I saw a as kind of frivolous.

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 My dad is a civil engineer in Switzerland he's 90 years old now so he's no longer active as a civil engineer but still a very active person.

I was really bright as a kid and tested well and it was clear that I was going to get scholarships to any schools I wanted. My dad always said I could be an engineer at that time it was the elite of society: steady job working in science which was then the answer to every problem we had. It was kind of a mandate. Kind of a dream he had for me.

My dad was an engineer and he became the CEO of Chevron. His was an engineer's mind-set: Everything's kind of a problem how do you approach the problem?

My dad of course like a lot of Asian parents wanted me to be an engineer or doctor and never could understand why I would want to be a lawyer. And then when I first said I wanted to run for office he thought that was absolutely insane.

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.'

Geoengineering - the deliberate large-scale manipulation of the earth's climate to offset global warming - is a nightmare fix for climate change.

I've got a great team of engineers behind this race car. I've got a great bunch of mechanics that make it reliable. This car is developed to go out there and be better than the Reynard and I feel that it is.

I need to develop a car and engineer a car in a position that feels comfortable for me and I don't think anyone can do a better job than I can in that position. The problem for me is if I can't get the car there I do struggle more than some.

Design can never be an ultimate explanation for anything. It can only be a proximate explanation. A plane or a car is explained by a designer but that's because the designer himself the engineer is explained by natural selection.

Business ethics has always had problems that are distinct from those of other professions such as medicine law engineering dentistry or nursing.

Business is not just doing deals business is having great products doing great engineering and providing tremendous service to customers. Finally business is a cobweb of human relationships.

The human foot is a masterpiece of engineering and a work of art.

To an engineer good enough means perfect. With an artist there's no such thing as perfect.

There is a lot of interest in the arts music theatre filmmaking engineering architecture and software design. I think we have now transitioned the modern-day version of the entrepreneur into the creative economy.
