weapons design?

<p>i am iron man… duh nuh duh nuh duh nuh nuh… in a van.</p>

<p>Shock Paddles, CLEAR!</p>

<p>Please continue this is exactly what i have been looking for. Any other comments on this? Please leave out morals!</p>

<p>Which would be most helpful major with today’s society: aero or mechanical?</p>

<p>And to answer the question who designs small arms fire: I believe mechanical engineers do, but I could be wrong.</p>

<p>Why do we have one of these threads pop up at least once per week? It is really quite ridiculous. You can design weapons at some point during their design process with just about any engineering degree. The reason you can’t find a school that offers a course in “weapons design” is because it doesn’t exist. “Weapon” is such a broad term and you really need to narrow it down some. An airplane is a weapon and takes all sorts of engineering work. Bombs are weapons and require a large number of engineering specialties. Same with missiles, guns, warships, and everything else. There is no right choice.</p>

<p>Now please, stop making threads that are identical to the plethora of other threads that are on here. For example, I only had to look down to page 3 (didn’t even have to use search) to find this one:</p>

<p>^ lol.</p>

<p>But yeah seriously, what does “weapon” even mean? “Weapon” is just another engineering project with engineering requirements and specifications.</p>

<p>reviving dead threads= win?</p>

<p>Mechanical engineers make weapons. Civil engineers make targets.</p>

<p>i m currently doing nanotechnology…i m deeply intrested in doing weapon ddesigning…can i do weapon designing?</p>

<p>Any of the STEM fields can lead to a career designing weapons. Arguably, all STEM fields are equally important for designing modern weapon systems.</p>

<p>Can an english major design weapons?</p>

<p>Yes, Issac Asimov did… But was he an English Major?</p>

<p>Weapons don’t necessarily have to be bombs or WMDs.
Some weapons are for self defense, even more are for leisure or hunting. There’s no point going over the ethics of the OP’s decision; we have no idea what weapons vincent vega wants to end up designing.
For some reason, I have a feeling that the Military Academies have the best programs in weapons design, though.</p>

<p>Asimov had a PhD in biochem and taught at BU mostly. He worked briefly for the Navy, during which time he probably did some weapons-related work.</p>

<p>What are these engineers do?</p>

<p>Bear in mind that technology such as RADAR and GPS can be both defensive and offensive. And both of those examples rely heavily on CS and EE. Robotics and C^3 (Command, Control, Communications… and derivative terms) as well.</p>

<p>I understand that there are many different types of engineers that work on the design of weapons. My son is interested in the design of prototype weapons. I have always felt that the best way to learn about a job and to find out exactly what its like to do that job is to talk to someone who does it for a living. I guess the question I want to ask is what kind of engineer should I have him talk to? Is it even possible to set up a meeting with a weapons manufacturing company to advise him in his career path? We have spoken to several counselors at a few different colleges and every one of them had different answers. Not positive that any of them were sure about the information they were giving us.</p>

<p>so i am young and have designs the are from tanks (thus tank kid) all the way to jet propultion suits like iron man and even some guns but i love all of it and i need to find a collage that has the ability to explain the more detail points to the ideas and that i can take while i am in high school</p>
