    virtually any profession, engineering included. As has been instilled in my perceptions about my chosen career field since my first day at Texas A&M University, engineering is far beyond the intellect to do calculus and write computer code; engineering is making decisions that will affect countless others and could even hold others’ life at stake. For this reason, Aristotle’s duality of intellectual and moral virtues deserves a more substantial introspective role in the engineering field. Within Nichomachean
