<p>I want to become a weapons engineer of somesort, making military weapons, rockets, etc. I am ranked 1 out of 547 in my school with a 4.0 and got a 1590/1600 on my SAT, so no college is really a reach, even though I know that it is still really tough to get in some of them. I don't think I really want to go to Annapolis or Westpoint, but I would consider it if either definitely is the best option. </p>
<p>Basically my question is: What colleges have the best military engineering programs?</p>
<p>12 views and still no answers?</p>
<p>really, this is getting pathetic.</p>
<p>wow, no one wants to answer</p>
<p>With no prior knowledge of anything related to military engineering or weaponry creation, I’d recommend either:</p>
<p>-Service Academy
-Tech School (MIT, Caltech, GT) and major in chem eng or bio eng since people are talking about biowarfare these days.</p>
<p>Engineering schools are ranked, so if u r sure that MiliEng is a major, look to see if its ranked.</p>
<p>EDIT: I wiki’d Military Engineer, and it gave Civil Engineer as a related topic. Top 10 Civil Engineering Schools are:</p>
<p>(@ Schools that give Doctorates)
- Illinois
- Berkeley
- MIT
- Texas
- GT
- Stanford
T7. Purdue
T7. Michigan
- Cornell
- Texas A&M</p>
<p>(@ Schools that give Bachelors & Masters)
- Rose-Hulman
T2. Cal Poly - SLO
T2. West Point
- Cooper Union
- Bucknell
- Harvey Mudd
- VMI
T8. Manhattan College
T8. Citadel
T8. Villanova</p>
<p>i know that all these schools have good engineering programs, but I want to know if any specifically specialize in weaponry etc.</p>
<p>I was typing Annapolis, but then saw you said Annapolis will not be the right fit for you. Honestly, I only know one military equipment engineer… He went to West Point. I think it might be the best way to go if it’s your passion. But look into it, email recruiters at Annapolis and other schools.</p>
<p>just trying to get more answers</p>
<p>People I know who worked on military contracts went to MIT.</p>
<p>JHU helps run APL, which is the big defense lab the US Gov. entrusted with JHU. Also, it’s right by Washington DC and the Pentagon…so…:D</p>
<p>and look at Georgetown for the possibility to intern at the Pentagon as well :D</p>
<p>aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa</p>
<p>“Weapons” can entail many different things. Do you mean biological and chemical weapons (biological/chemical engineering), missiles (aerospace engineering), new materials for use in weapons (materials engineering), or something else entirely? Just about any engineering field has applications in weaponry.</p>
<p>more like missiles and bombs etc.</p>
