That morphed into "Learn By Destroying" which seemed to be the
practice in the engineering department. Since graduating with a
rather substantial damage fee, I have adopted it as my personal motto.
If you haven't destroyed and later repaired it, you don't understand
how it works.

Oops. Wrong Cal Poly:

The San Luis Obispo motto of "Discere Faciendo" which is Latin for "To
Learn by Doing" was once the motto for both skools. The motto and
seal for Pomona changed when the skools split in the 1960's to
"Instrumentum Disciplinae" which is Latin for "Application of
Knowledge". This was often incorrectly interpreted as "Instrument of
Discipline" as indicated by the hammer and mace like weapons in the
logos.
