Out of 9224 total instruction sessions, 151 were for K-12 students. Thirty one of thosewere devoted strictly to Engineering and science; the others were general library orientations thatoften included some science and technology resources.IntroductionWhat do the nicknames His Airness, Tinchie, Kitchen, Skeets, and Babsie all have in common?These five individuals were recruited by at least one of the twelve Atlantic Coast Conference(ACC) schools.

The ethical issues involve thework of engineers, but the topics also fall within the realms of philosophy, politics, economics,law, sociology, and psychology. The ethical issues are as follows:1. New transportation corridors through neighborhoods. Commerce depends on an efficient transportation system, but how should society balance public interest and individuals’ rights?2. SUVs. SUVs are very prevalent on roadways now, but should they vanish?3. Agricultural enhancements. To feed a growing world population, should society employ all available technological agricultural advances or adhere to natural practices?4. Space

While it is clear that there is a need to grow the numbers of scientists and engineers required to take on the challenge of these types of problems [2], the idea of reforming the way in which they are trained has gained little traction. Recent advances in technology have enabled neurologists and cognitive scientists to map brain activity and describe ways in which people best learn and retain information. Scientists know that for learning to occur, neural pathways must be formed. New neural paths begin with existing
