Engineering
is a great profession. There is the satisfaction of watching a figment
of the imagination emerge through the aid of science to a plan on
paper. Then it moves to realisation in stone or metal or energy. Then
it brings homes to men or women. Then it elevates the standard of
living and adds to the comforts of life. This is the engineer’s high
privilege.-Herbert Hoover
***
Scientists dream about doing great things. Engineers do them.- James A. Michener

Engineering
is the art of organizing and directing men and controlling the forces
and materials of nature for the benefit of the human race.- Henry G.
Stott
