I'm considering a career that's heavily involved with military technology and weapons. Does the Naval Academy offer a program or major that focuses on weapons engineering?
Yes, the United States Naval Academy does offer a major that can give you the knowledge and skills essential for careers related to military technology and weaponry. The major is named 'Weapons, Robotics, and Control Engineering' (WRCE). As the name suggests, this program focuses on robotics control and warfare system design. Coursework involves learning about the principles of weapon system operation, including guidance systems, control, robotics, and the effects of weapon systems on ships and aircraft. By integrating these foundational disciplines with practical training and leadership development, the program provides a strong foundation for graduates who will later serve in the Navy or Marine Corps.
