Engineering of Science

A metascientific framework that treats science as something that can be designed, built, and optimized—an engineered system rather than a natural phenomenon. The engineering of science examines how scientific institutions, practices, and systems can be deliberately shaped to produce better outcomes: more reliable knowledge, more efficient discovery, more equitable participation, more socially beneficial research. It draws on insights from metascience, sociology of science, and science policy to ask practical questions: How should peer review be designed? What funding mechanisms produce the best science? How can scientific careers be structured to encourage innovation while maintaining rigor? How can scientific institutions be made more resilient, more adaptive, more just? The engineering of science treats science as a human artifact—something we have built and can rebuild—rather than something we simply study and accept.

Example: "His engineering of science proposal redesigned the grant review process to reduce bias and increase innovation—treating funding decisions not as natural occurrences but as systems that could be optimized like any other engineered system."

Engineer Sigh

The signature sound of an overworked Brooklyn Tech student, often seen as they leave the school at 7 PM due to their stacked schedule and clubs.
Devolved from the Brooklyn Tech Mascot, the Engineer, so it was dubbed the "Engineer Sigh.
If you go to 29 Fort Greene Pl, you can see a whole chorus of engineer sighs as students come out and catch their trains.

dude 1: Yo what was that sound of agony and despair?

dude 2: its the engineer sigh bro, were at DeKalb station.

Midnight Engineer

To engineer at night. A person who services people during the lightless hours of the day. A prostitute.

That girl we passed on the bus was rather shapely and walked in a distinctive manner. However, she had the essence of a midnight engineer.

cybernetically engineered individual

a character in a novel created by the author

Stan carried around the characters from the novel he was writing on a 2-gig memory stick, characters who were always changing and evolving, always, as he was so fond of saying, cybernetically engineered individuals.
