My second or third year in the engineering department, I got very frustrated, and I sat down with myself and had a soul-searching conversation with myself and said, 'What I'd really like to do is see if I can write comedy.' ... I moved to L.A. stone cold. Didn't know anybody; didn't know how to go about it. Really started from scratch.

Engineering training deals with the exact sciences. That sort of exactness makes for truth and conscience. It might be good for the world if more men had that sort of mental start in life even if they did not pursue the profession.

American President

Jack Kilby

It's true that the original idea was mine, but what you see today is the work of probably tens of thousands of the world's best engineers, all concentrating on improving the product, reducing the cost, things of that sort.

American Scientist

Freeman A. Hrabowski III

In life sciences, we find a reasonable balance between men and women. In engineering and computer science, we have a major problem. A very small percentage of women will be in computer science.

American Educator

Eve Torres

I have been in a 'man's' world as long as I can remember. I was an engineering major in college, I am a sports entertainer in the WWE, and I teach self-defense.

American Actress

Steve Wozniak

My goal wasn't to make a ton of money. It was to build good computers. I only started the company when I realized I could be an engineer forever.

American Businessman

Heidi Hammel

I would encourage anybody who's interested in any kind of science, engineering, math field, to go after that.

Henry Petroski

As engineers, we were going to be in a position to change the world - not just study it.

American Author

Leah Busque

I'm an engineer turned entrepreneur who's passionate about connection.

American Businesswoman

Yasmine Hamdan

My father is an engineer, and my mother raised the three children.

The term 'engineer' may require a qualifier to indicate a specific field of expertise.

Field Specific

'Engineer' often implies having a formal education and professional qualifications in engineering.

Professional Degree

Engineers not only build tangible objects but can also develop software and systems.

Not Just Physical

As a verb, 'engineer' implies cleverly solving a problem or crafting a solution.

Problem-Solving

Using 'engineer' as a verb can suggest inventiveness or an innovative method.

Ingenious Method

The noun 'engineer' may mean someone who primarily operates or maintains engines.

Operation Focus

An engineer in this sense doesn't usually design the engine but ensures its functionality.

Not the Inventor

 every major scientific organization in the world has concluded that the crops currently on the market are safe to eat and that the process of genetic engineering is no more risky than older methods of genetic modification. These are precisely the same organizations that most of us trust when it comes to other important scientific issues

 and see if your masterful paper engineering ideas translate from a sketch to the actual prototype. Instead of using fancy paper, start with the cheap stuff and allow yourself to make mistakes and adjustments. This prototype lets you see how your preliminary sketches will come to life.

 From there, engineers and military inventors created all kinds of destructive weapons. From bombs to guns to cannons, gunpowder left its mark on the world in some pretty terrible ways, in contrast to the beautiful marks it can leave in the air. So, how does black powder propel

 This amazing advance in storage capacity wasn't just a matter of making everything smaller, but involved multiple innovations. A technique called the thin film lithography process allowed engineers to shrink the reader and writer.

How do hard drives work?...

 With each invention, the engineers demonstrated an essential habit of scientific thinking - that solutions must recognize the limitations of current technology in order to advance it. Sometimes this progress is iterative,
