Virtue Of Thought At Texas A & M University

The virtues of thought are necessary for a student to be successful as an electrical engineer. As an engineer, all aspects of the virtues of thought are not gained at Texas A&M University. The reason for this is because virtues of thought is gained through training, education, and learning (Miller). As a student of this institution, I believe we do not receive the necessary formal training for several courses offered.

The University cannot teach students how to make the moral decisions without having a formal training.

The five virtues of thought consist of Phronesis, Techne, Episteme, Nous, and Sophia (Miller). These categories are directly related to

The experience that a professor can distribute among his/her students will drastically change how a student should act in the field. I know this statement is true because I have learned so much when I was in automotive school. The training was 50% hands-on and 50% theoretical in terms of the time of the class which was roughly 3.5 hours per class. This allowed myself to gain happiness because I was ready to get out in the field and start fixing vehicles the right way. I cannot say the same for engineering school here at Texas A&M because of the fact that our class times are condensed and the professor isn’t in our labs to train us. Basically, my experience at this University is that I trained myself to be the engineer I am meant to be. Until I can get into the field and begin working, I cannot say that I am happy or attained happiness here in terms of the virtues of thought. I will, however, gain achieve pride when I graduate from a world-renowned
