I am interested in the field of weapons engineering that utilizes laser technology as the main component of the weapon. What degrees should I seek and what should I major in?
physics. With concentrations in optics…electrical engineering would also help. And with a mojor in physics, it would be easy to obtain a minor in electrical…

Nuclear Engineering. I know there is a position in the Navy for Nuclear Engineering…and my dad worked as a nuclear engineer for another country’s government, lol. He was actually a chemical engineer, which I will be majoring in as well, but he worked as a nuclear engineer because he dealt with atoms and such. You are going to be doing something similar, he worked with a lot of machines that involved heat (which is what a laser weapon would do…throw out a lot of heat).

You would want to major in physics with a minor in electrical engineering.
You would want to achieve a PhD in physics and perhaps a BSEE in electrical engineering.
Place a lot of emphasis on mathematics, classical physics, and in quantum mechanics.
