Engineering Sayings

Our team particularly likes to use the phrase PFM - Pure Flipping Magic to describe anything that has anything at all to do with electronics. We also use the "it can be fixed in software" phrase all the time during our fabrication and design.

I really liked Woddie's "Mother nature does not give partial credit" during the kickoff.

In the fab shop we also go with "Slop is good" - at least to an extent. On the same token, if something is too tight to fit together we say that it was machined accurate to the nearest atom. When a part comes out too inaccurate to use we say that it was made with ¼ inch accuracy on an 1/8 inch part.

We also always result back to the simple K.I.S.S. principal.
