The contentions are raised that a thoroughly integrated presentation of fundamentals is highly essential to engineering students and must be given regardless of the title or department of the professor doing it, that physics departments and texts are doing it today, not perfectly perhaps, but under considerable difficulties, and finally that physicists still have an approach and a point of view that is decidedly more basic than that of the engineer and is decidedly healthy for the engineering student to learn. A suggestion is offered for expanding the crowded four-year curriculum by bringing students from high schools a year earlier.
