It's absolutely no problem to be an officer, but the employment after retirement is narrow. In fact, this major is good, and it will be divided into small majors in the future, such as: fire monitor and automatic weapon research, ammunition engineering, ballistic engineering, weapon system engineering, weapon measurement and control, explosives engineering, fuze technology, pyrotechnics technology and other engineering and technical fields. Its authorized unit has a master's degree in engineering, and trains senior engineering and technical personnel engaged in research, development, design, manufacturing, performance testing, quality control, efficiency analysis, use and maintenance, fault diagnosis and troubleshooting of weapons and weapon systems. The main courses are: political theory course, foreign language course, advanced engineering mathematics, advanced engineering mechanics, optimization theory and design, modern multiphase fluid mechanics, combustion theory, modern detection technology, signal and information processing technology, modern cybernetics, modern design theory, chemical thermodynamics, coordination chemistry, modern ballistics, aerodynamic calculation of missiles and arrows, introduction to modern weapons, design of fire monitors, and modern design of automatic weapons and ammunition. Explosive design and technology, fuze design, initiating explosive device design, weapon system integration theory and technology, weapon launch theory, weapon system effectiveness evaluation and analysis, weapon system simulation and simulation technology, etc.

Because the field of weapon engineering is mainly to train high-level engineering and technical personnel for military enterprises and troops, it is mainly suitable for national defense, especially the conventional weapon industry. It mainly includes: fire monitor and automatic weapon, ammunition engineering, ballistic engineering, weapon system engineering, weapon measurement and control, explosives engineering, fuze technology, pyrotechnic smoke and fire technology.

According to the nature of the work of engineers and technicians, the field scope can be divided into: research, design, development and efficiency analysis of weapon systems, production process and management, quality control, performance testing, experimental research, use, maintenance, fault diagnosis and elimination of weapon systems, etc.
