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

With engineering, I view this year's failure as next year's opportunity to try it again. Failures are not something to be avoided. You want to have them happen as quickly as you can so you can make progress rapidly. ↗

For decades engineers have stood accused that their buildings do not have any cultural value. We have attempted to liberate engineering of this accusation. ↗

From here, it becomes an engineering problem; the engineer considers the ground motion that will occur and evaluates the requirements of the proposed structure in the light of the local foundation conditions. ↗

But while doing that I'd been following a variety of fields in science and technology, including the work in molecular biology, genetic engineering, and so forth. ↗

I don't know technology and engineering. I don't know accounting. ↗

Piecemeal social engineering resembles physical engineering in regarding the ends as beyond the province of technology. ↗

I think one problem we've had is that people who are smart and creative and innovative as engineers went into financial engineering. ↗

The engineering is long gone in most PC companies. In the consumer electronics companies, they don't understand the software parts of it. And so you really can't make the products that you can make at Apple anywhere else right now. Apple's the only company that has everything under one roof. ↗

Basically, if reverse engineering is banned, then a lot of the open source community is doomed to fail. ↗
