There are ethical issues that arrive within companies and among engineers. In our classroom we discussed several ethical issues that could and have happened among companies and between engineers. Some reoccurring ethics issue that were discussed were engineers and companies being too cocky, lying about an issue that had happened or was currently happening, and sacrificing safety for money or time. In life there is a fine line between being confident and being cocky. Being confident with…

When the Titanic collided with the iceberg, the hull steel and the rivets failed because the hull body and rivets were made by brittle materials. At extremely high speeds, the brittle fracture caused plastic deformation. The reasons of plastic deformation include low temperature, poor properties of the hull steel, and high sulphur content of the material. When the Titanic disaster happened, each of these three factors was present: The water temperature was very low, the Titanic was travelling at…

I think it is okay to use native american mascots as long as they are not racist. Three examples of native american sports teams would be the Cherokee Braves, Florida State seminoles, and the Washington Redskins. The Cherokee Braves are a (high school) sports team and the florida state seminoles are a (collegiate) sports team and the Washington redskins are a (NFL) football team. These teams all have to do with native americans. The NCAA is threatening to shut down or stop all sports teams that…

The Costa Concordia disaster is the biggest cruise line catastrophe since the sinking of the Titanic 100 years ago. In the aftermath of the incident, many efforts have been made and are continuing to be made to salvage what is left of the disaster. These salvage efforts range from the search and rescue of passengers and crew to even the extracting of over a half million gallons of oil from the ship since it listed 137 meters off the coast of Giglio Island, Italy on January 13, 2012. From…

much hate but also support from people. I agree with his actions because of his purpose for it. Kaepernick says this protest is for the innocent black men being shot while the police just get a paid leave for their actions. Standing up during “The Star-Spangled Banner” shows a sign of respect to the men that fought for the freedom of this country. Although this protest may come off as rude and disrespectful, the racism and injustice that is happening has ruined the whole purpose of a free…

Before any sports event it is common that there will be a specific song played to honor America and those brave people who have fought for the freedom we have today. For this song it is also common for people to stand, take off their hats, and maybe even put their hand on their heart out of respect for the men and women who have served our country over the years. Those men and women have fought for our freedom and it is our way as citizens of a free country, to show respect and give thanks by…

out against the injustices in America. Colin Kaepernick, the quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, was the focal point in the media this year when, before a preseason game, he decided to sit down as opposed to the tradition of standing during the Star - Spangled Banner. Kaepernick explained his position stating “I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color. To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my…

During the recent Democratic National Convention, Khizr Khan, the father of the late Humayun Khan, gave a speech addressing the continued hate coming from presidential candidate, Donald Trump. Khan addresses the constant bashing of the Muslim people and other minorities, and even asks for him to “look for the words liberty and equal protection of law” in the U.S. Constitution. During his speech, Khan addressed the sacrifices his family made in a “nation where they were free to be themselves and…

A. Attention Getter: I know the majority of the class are thinking, “Oh no, is that a cricket ball? Anything, but that lame sport.” I bet everyone would rather watch the Cleveland Browns lose to a high school football team or even watch Donald Trump play golf for the whole day than watch a single boring cricket game. B. Reason to Listen: It has become a meme to insult the sport of cricket, and rightfully so. Cricket is not popular sport in America, and it will never be accepted as a major…

The red signifies valor and hardiness. America has many religions such as Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Sikhism, and…
