Abstract:
The need for orientation in a subject matter area as a means of career motivation and prevention of dropouts has been recognized by many educators. Traditionally, the student takes a course which presents information about his career field. Studying about a field has not always supplied the career motivation desired. A better introductory course would be one in which the student actually does what he will be doing in his chosen career. The departure from traditional methods should challenge and interest the student.
