From the engineering point of view (the brain) looks sloppy and gooey and slapped together.
I received my undergraduate degree in engineering in 1939 and a Master of Science degree in mathematical physics in 1941 at Steven Institute of Technology.
Field 5 was our best field prior to Charley. The thing of it is, they did the engineering (on Field 7) in a short time. Wouldn't it have been cheaper to do both fields at once than one at a time
The needs of engineering professionals are constantly evolving when it comes to complex design and calculation. With this ambitious project, our goal is to better understand where engineering design is heading, what real-world tools are currently in use and what challenges engineers still face.
But what's different about this project is we are pulling together experts from different fields, such as isotope chemistry, electrical engineering, earth and planetary sciences and geology to look at the water cycle from beginning to end.
Protein engineering is a technology of molecular machines - of molecular machines that are part of replicators - and so it comes from an area that already raises some of the issues that nanotechnology will raise.
In a project like this, there is a design time. There are considerations to be made with engineering. You go through the design process, then the bid process, then the construction.
Since that time, we are still at a point where we haven't had an engineering design done for replacement.
If you understand the science, there is no magic to this. It is based on sound science and engineering. ... There are no smoke and mirrors here.
When you're looking for innovative and creative solutions to problems, the more diverse perspective you can bring, the more likely you can come up with a good solution. We've got to do a better job of describing what engineering is and stimulating the imagination of young people to understand there is some really challenging and interesting work in this field.
The aim of human rights, if I may borrow a term from engineering, is to move beyond the design and drawing-board phase, to move beyond thinking and talking about the foundations stones - to laying those foundation stones, inch by inch, together.
We've got an engineering nightmare trying to fill the breach of the levee where the waters are pouring into the city. I think they've been working on it all night, and they'll continue to work on it all day today.
Women make up only 25 percent of the science, engineering and technology workforce... We are delighted to be working with NASA Ames to give Silicon Valley area girls a chance to explore and develop their potential in science at an age when many begin to drift away from their natural interest.
We are seeing lot of new lighting innovations some of them are allowed and some not. My understanding is Mercedes made a good case of allowing these brake lights to be used on a trial basis. Presumably they argued that flashing lights are just as visible, or perhaps more visible than regular lights. Whether they really are better remains to be seen, but we have faith in Mercedes engineering.
Product development across multiple organizations is particularly challenging here, because for the past decade, we've grown as much as 30 percent a year. We not only needed to address design complexity but any solution we implemented also had to be usable in a wide variety of engineering and computing environments.
