Jay,
Terrific for your three students. Although I don't think applications is the primary purpose of field trips, it obviously happens from time to time. But seeing clearly and directly waht job duties one will perform as a graduate is invaluable. I've observed so many students who really don't know the foundational parts of the job they're training for, so this the field trip can help clarify and illuminate what it is that the graduate will do when they graduate.
