Through my education, I didn’t just develop skills, I didn’t just develop the ability to learn, but I developed confidence.

We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology accepts blacks in the top ten percent of students, but at MIT this puts them in the bottom ten percent of the class.

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

Women tend to be more intuitive, or to admit to being intuitive, and maybe the hard science approach isn’t so attractive. The way that science is taught is very cold. I would never have become a scientist if I had been taught like that.

Science is the captain, and practice the soldiers.

What’s dangerous is not to evolve.

In American math classes, we teach a lot of concepts poorly over many years. In the Asian systems they teach you very few concepts very well over a few years.

Science must have originated in the feeling that something was wrong.

A fool’s brain digests philosophy into folly, science into superstition, and art into pedantry. Hence University education.
