What are we doing at RIT about this educational system? Well, let me tell you a little something about the micro-electronics bachelor's degree program we have now. (It will soon be developing into a Master's Degree program but we have to graduate some people with bachelor's degrees first.) It's been in place three years and is a combination of Physics Department, Mathematics Department, the College of Science, the College of Graphic Arts and Photography, the College of Engineering. There is five year program which has the usual requirements of physics, chemistry, math, electrical engineering, material science, and photographic science. These people are busy, but they will have a very, very strong background by the time they get done.
