i would like to design and build missiles for the navy which upper school subjects should i take and then which uni corses should i follow them up with
If you just want to "build missiles", don't do anything. You don't go into giant fields with the purpose of designing one specific device(Not to mention already highly-perfected killing machines!). You should go into engineering because you like engineering, not missiles.Lee shannon said:i would like to design and build missiles for the navy which upper school subjects should i take and then which uni corses should i follow them up with
I did not know there were rules about what is an acceptable reason for wanting to do something. My life is a lie.arrowpusher96 said:If you just want to "build missiles", don't do anything.

The most common educational path for becoming a missile designer for the Navy is to earn a bachelor's degree in engineering, preferably in a field related to missile design, such as aerospace or mechanical engineering. A graduate degree in a related field can also be beneficial.
Designing missiles for the Navy requires a combination of technical skills, including knowledge of aerodynamics, propulsion, materials science, and computer-aided design (CAD) software. Additionally, strong critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork skills are essential for success in this field.
Courses in missile design, aerodynamics, and propulsion are highly recommended for those interested in designing missiles for the Navy. Additionally, obtaining certifications in specialized areas, such as CAD software or project management, can make you a more competitive candidate.
While military experience can be beneficial for understanding the specific needs and requirements of the Navy, it is not a requirement for becoming a missile designer. However, having a strong understanding of military protocols and procedures can be helpful in this career.
Aside from working directly for the Navy as a missile designer, there are also opportunities to work for private defense contractors or in research and development for companies that specialize in missile technology. Additionally, many of the skills and knowledge gained from designing missiles can be transferable to other fields, such as aerospace engineering or defense technology.
