Physics in Engineering Education

AUG 01, 1954
W. W. Watson

THE Summer Institute conferences on Nuclear Physics in Engineering Education are being sponsored by the American Society for Engineering Education, the American Institute of Physics, and the National Science Foundation. A closed conference attended by over thirty engineers and physicists was held at Columbia University on April 22, 23, and 24, 1954, and a larger open conference will take place at Northwestern University September 7–10. This is a brief report of the closed conference, mostly abstracted from a more complete report, prepared by R. W. Houston, to be found in the June 1954 issue of the Journal of Engineering Education.
