“Much of the early engineering development of digital computers was done in universities. A few years ago, the view was commonly expressed that universities had played their part in computer design, and that the matter could now safely be left to industry. [...] Apart from the obvious functions of keeping in the public domain material that might otherwise be hidden, universities can make a special contribution by reason of their freedom from commercial considerations, including freedom from the need to follow the fashion.” NeedsYearsMatterReasonDoneMightLeftViewsSpecialFashionDesignMaterialsDevelopmentIndustryComputerYears AgoFunctionIncludingUniversityObviousContributionConsiderationDigitalEngineeringDomainPublic Domain Author:Maurice Wilkes
“In the judgment of design engineers, the ordinary means of communicating with a computer are entirely inadequate. [...] Graphical communication in some form or other is of vital importance in engineering as that subject is now conducted; we must either provide the capability in our computer systems, or take on the impossible task of training up a future race of engineers conditioned to think in a different way.” ThinkingWayMeanDifferentFormRaceImpossibleSubjectsDesignCommunicationJudgmentComputerTrainingOrdinaryTasksImportanceCommunicateDifferent WaysCapabilityEngineeringEngineersInadequateComputer Systems Author:Maurice Wilkes
“Atlantis was a highly evolved civilization where the sciences and arts were far more advanced than one might guess.

“The present Luddism over genetic engineering may die a natural death as the computer-illiterate generation is superseded....

“Let's also make sure that a high school diploma puts our kids on a path to a good job. Right now, countries like Germany focus on graduating their high school students with the equivalent of a technical degree from one of our community colleges, so that they're ready for a job. At schools like P-TECh in Brooklyn ... students will graduate with a high school diploma and an associate degree in computers or engineering. We need to give every American student opportunities like this.” NeedsGivingCountryKidsSchoolJobsOpportunityCommunityPathFocusStudentsCollegeReadyRight NowDegreesComputerHigh SchoolGermanyGraduatesEngineeringAssociatesGood JobBrooklynOur CommunityDiplomaCommunity CollegeHigh School StudentsHigh School Diploma Author:Barack Obama

“Those with engineering skills will build tomorrow's genius computers. But those with the ability to create knowledge of any kind will be the ones who are best able to extract great value from them. The way to create value in the age of genius machines will be to compile and disseminate knowledge that other people will find useful.” PeopleWayKindAgeAbleValuesAbilityGeniusTomorrowSkillsComputerMachinesEngineeringGreat Value Author:Ray Kurzweil
“There are certainly lots of jobs in computer coding, but coding doesn't really require advanced mathematics. And engineering jobs, they vary widely in the amount of demand that we actually need. So, you know, the number of people for whom the job description includes Newton's calculus is not perhaps that high.” PeopleKnowsNeedsJobsNumbersAmountDemandComputerMathematicsDescriptionEngineeringVaryNewtonCalculus Author:Anya Kamenetz
