I know my concept of including Physics, Math Music and survival skills into a yeshiva is radical departure of the approach of those that think all secular studies are  bad.  There is on the other hand those that think all secular studies is a great thing and that is obviously quite terrible as we can see.
My approach is that that having some secular studies is a good thing, but most of it is bad. The fact that people pursue secular studies for the sake of a vocation does not turn bad into good.

I asked Rav Zilverman [Old City of Jerusalem] once about electrical engineering  and he thought that it is in the category of natural sciences that the Rambam recommended.
i might mention that

Even though physics is not among the subjects that my parent emphasized. Still, I believe they are important. My mother emphasized marrying a nice Jewish girl and to be a mensch (good character) , and my father emphasized and to be self-reliant. I think my mother thought “a nice Jewish girl” are synonyms, however I think they are two separate requirements.
