Weapons Developer w/ Aerospace Engineering Degree


I'm starting my first year this fall so I wanted to find out all my paths with this degree. I will be attending Carleton Uni.

Will I be able to develop weapons with a degree in aerospace engineering? I'm thinking things like missiles, rockets, RPG's, etc. What other degree should I go for that might complement my aerospace degree in the field of weapons development?

Keep in mind, right now I'm open to any weapon field

Modern weapons need all sorts of engineering input to get properly designed.

Chemical engineering for the explosives
Electrical engineering for the guidance systems
Mechanical engineering for the housings and structures
Aerospace engineering for the aerodynamics and propulsion

Thanks for the input. I'm going into Aerospace Eng this fall so I was thinking about what other degrees I might want to look into as well

If you go aerospace, go areospace and mechanical if possible. All the good stuff is mechanical. Unless you LOVE CFD
