I'm not near college, but I am fairly aware of these things... There is a career titled "Weapons Engineer", as there are different types of weapons and such, you would need different backgrounds in engineering.

Mechanical Engineering: This leans more towards hand-held weapons (handguns, assault rifles, etc.) but it can also mean mounted weapons (.50 calibers)

Electrical Engineering: This will lean more towards radar, radar jamming, smart weapons, etc.

Now the bigger your looking for (missiles, rockets) the more you will want to think about Aerospace Engineering...

I hope that, that had answered your question... but like I had said I'm not near college... I am in the 8th grade, but I want to do something of engineering or architecture so I am well read up on this.

What is the percent of growth of mechanical engineering?

The job opportunities for mechanical engineers are outstanding. Nationwide, demand for all types of engineers remains well above the average for all other professions. And the mechanical engineers are in even greater demand than most other types of engineers. The U.S. Department of Labor expects that America will need as many as 87,000 new mechanical engineers by the time today's high school seniors graduate. Traditionally, high demand means high salaries. On average, a mechanical engineer who is just starting out in the profession can expect to earn about $51,000 a year. Within several years, that annual salary can jump to an average of over $70,000. These estimates come from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and reflect nationwide survey results. High demand also means greater opportunities to do interesting work. Because there is so much mechanical engineering work to go around, may young mechanical engineers usually have their choice of good jobs at the beginning of their careers. High demand for mechanical engineers also means the flexibility to do the work you like to do, and live where you want to. Since machines and mechanical systems are almost everywhere, mechanical engineers can usually find employment where they want to live. Traditionally, mechanical engineering - like all engineering professions - was almost the exclusive province of men. But today the opportunities for women in mechanical engineering are great. Today women comprise about 8 percent of the mechanical engineering profession. But they make up about 18 percent of the class of first-year mechanical engineering students. This means that the percentage of women in the profession will be growing quickly. Many schools are offering special scholarships and programs to attract women to engineering. Companies and organizations are actively recruiting women engineers, and offering high salaries and benefits to attract the best.
