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

I think people are realizing that engineering and science are extremely good degrees to get and you'll be very highly paid once you've got them.

For the future, primarily, we must educate people in science, engineering, technology and math.

There's nothing I believe in more strongly than getting young people interested in science and engineering, for a better tomorrow, for all humankind.

Engineers like to solve problems. If there are no problems handily available, they will create their own problems.

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

People think that computer science is the art of geniuses but the actual reality is the opposite, just many people doing things that build on eachother, like a wall of mini stones.

I'll match wits with anybody. I don't care if they have the top degree in the world.

More than ever, the world needs good engineers. However, the pool of talent is shrinking not growing.

Careers in virtually all academic disciplines are fostered by being a superstar who knows more about one subject than anyone else in the world.
