That a greater emphasis on statistics should be included in science is certainly the case, but then there is a school of thought that know a little bit of frequentist statistics is better than knowing none at all. But regardless, I am fairly confident that most scientists (or engineers) do not actually learn this as juniors (or seniors) (or Ph.D's)
