decisions engineers face in practice are far more common andmundane than implied by case studies, with typical examples cited in Harding et al. [1]. Ethicsinstruction that does not address these every day decisions may promote ethical fading whenthose decisions are required. This is reinforced by McGinn [14] survey results which concludedthat student ethical preparation was not sufficient for the ethical dilemmas that practicingengineers actually experience. Teaching students to internalize ethical decisions, ponder howthey personally arrive at their decision and raise awareness of the multitude of ethical dilemmasthey face may be more effective at altering future ethical decisions.It is important to distinguish between the teaching of morals, laws

Arteries are used to transport blood using the pressure developed by thepumping action of the heart. The pulse, which can be felt over an artery lying near the surface ofthe skin, results from the alternate expansion and contraction of the arterial wall as the beatingheart forces blood into the arterial system via the aorta.Blood flow through an artery is laminar due to low velocity, which means that blood flows inparallel layers with no disruption between the layers. In some cases, the blood flow may beturbulent due to restrictions and blockages in the arteries when vascular conditions

This makes students’ experience at Georgia Tech more personalizableby enabling them to explore areas of interest outside their main program of study, and gainknowledge across different academic disciplines.
