“Young people at universities study to achieve knowledge and not to learn a trade. We must all learn how to support ourselves, but we must also learn how to live. We need a lot of engineers in the modern world, but we do not want a world of modern engineers.” PeopleWorldWantNeedsYoungSupportLearningStudyModernAchieveTradeUniversityEngineersModern World Book:Europe Unite: Speeches 1947 and 1948 Source: Europe Unite: Speeches 1947 and 1948
“We do not need to invent sustainable human communities. We can learn from societies that have lived sustainably for centuries. We can also model communities after nature's ecosystems, which are sustainable communities of plants, animals, and microorganisms. Since the outstanding characteristic of the biosphere is its inherent ability to sustain life, a sustainable human community must be designed in such a manner that its technologies and social institutions honor, support, and cooperate with nature's inherent ability to sustain life.” LifeNeedsHumansSocialNatureCommunityAbilityAnimalTechnologySupportLearningSocietyCenturyHonorModelsInstitutionsPlantCharacteristicsSustainabilityInherentPhysicistOutstandingEcosystemsSustainingBiosphereSocial InstitutionsMicroorganisms Author:Fritjof Capra
“In engineering, as in other creative arts, we must learn to do analysis to support our efforts in synthesis. One cannot build a beautiful and functional bridge without a knowledge of steel and dirt, and a considerable mathematical technique for using this knowledge to compute the properties of structures. Similarly, one cannot build a beautiful computer system without a deep understanding of how to "previsualize" the process generated by the code one writes.” WritingArtBeautifulProcessUnderstandingEffortSupportCreativeLearningComputerStructurePropertyTechniqueMathematicalCodeBridgesAnalysisProgrammingEngineeringDirtSteelCreative ArtSynthesisDeep UnderstandingComputer Systems Author:Gerald Jay Sussman
