From: akcs.shaulp@tronsbox.xei.com (Shaul Peleg) I am still in high school and am very interested in weapons design. I was wondering, if I were to pursue it, what type of engineering deals with the design of weapons (guns, artillery, missiles). The only two I can think of are mechanical and aeronautical engineering. Are there any colleges or universitites that deal specifically with it? Thanks, Shaul Peleg

Electrical engineering - lots of electronics in missiles. Chemical engineering - manufacture of explosives.
