  abstract =     "This paper describes an orientation course for
                 beginning computer science majors. The course is
                 different from the CS 1 or computer literacy courses,
                 but similar in intent and content to orientation
                 courses in engineering, business, and other fields. Its
                 purpose is to give students an overview of computer
                 science and an idea of what computer professionals do
                 so that students can make an informed career decision.
                 Other emphases for the course are practice in problem
                 solving, experience working in groups, teaching basic
                 technical (non-programming) skills, social and ethical
                 issues, and making students aware of the resources and
                 opportunities available to them such as internship
                 programs. Influences and constraints on the design of
                 the course and suggested changes the next time the
                 course is taught are also described.",
