At the fourth grade level, girls at the same percentages of boys say they're interested in careers in engineering or math or astrophysics, but by eighth grade that has dropped precipitously.
The industry's not stupid. The industry knows that if those foods are labeled 'genetically engineered', the public will shy away and won't take them.
The cars haven't advanced that much since we were kids. When you boil it down, it's still a gas combustion engine.
I want entrepreneurs to be engineers and scientists and designers; they don't necessarily have to be Internet entrepreneurs or retail entrepreneurs.
How much power is there in a thousand noisy engines? I tell you, there is more power in a single blade of grass.
When a train goes through a tunnel and it gets dark, you don't throw away the ticket and jump off. You sit still and trust the engineer.
[first lines] [the garbage truck's engine stops] Truck Driver: What the hell? Goddamn son of a bitch...
I think the internal combustion engine will disappear from the streets of our cities in the next thirty years because transportation will be mass transportation, or probably electrical power.
I believe that science is the engine of prosperity, that if you look around at the wealth of civilization today, it's the wealth that comes from science.
All the traditional STEM fields, the science, technology, engineering, and math fields, are stoked when you dream big in an agency such as NASA.
Most people are really stunned to find out that the technology has been around for more than 100 years, and that the diesel engine was in fact invented to run on vegetable oil.
Engineering producers who don't play and have technology as a background may be the reason why there's a lot of cold non-musical music, for lack of a better description.
Real men study law and engineering, while ideas and values are for sissies. The humanities should constitute the core of any university worth the name.
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.
My brain as the engine, with thoughts trailing to the caboose, on a one-track mind we keep going forward.
I fix the human chassis, I tune up human engines, I recharge human batteries, and I adjust human transmissions.
Many people think all I do is some random engineering work in between caving expeditions. It's been far more deliberate than that.
Having a mother who had been an aeronautical engineer convinced me that more things should be open to women.
[Marty and Doc are asking how fast the train could go] Marty McFly: Do you think it's possible to get it up to... 90? Engineer: Ha! 90? Tarnation, son, who'd ever need to be in such a hurry? Doc: Well, it's just a little bet he and I have, that's all...
Keep on questioning. Keep on searching.
In search of Magnum opus - perhaps you were divined to be mine.
