I do engineering, not religion.

Engineering stimulates the mind.

Missionary work has never been easy, and yet the joyful rewards cannot be equaled by any other experience.

As you may know, I am a mechanical engineer.

I'm not even an engineer. I don't have a college degree; I hire guys with college degrees.

I just write mechanical things.

You see, my ambition was not to confound the engineering world but simply to create a beautiful piece of art.

I think a craft becomes an art form when the space of possible solutions becomes so huge that engineering can't carry you through.

At its heart, engineering is about using science to find creative, practical solutions. It is a noble profession.

Teachers need to be more inspirational. But it's also up to engineering to make itself more interesting.
