How to Become a Military Engineer?

• First step include an accredited engineering program. Minimum requirement of bachelor’s degree in engineering is required for military engineers.
• Enhance your skills and knowledge required in this field by taking requisite training/internship.
• After completion of full-time bachelor’s degree in engineering, you have to apply for the professional engineer (PE) exam.
• After the successful accomplishment of PE, you will become a licensed engineer and can apply in the armed forces as a military engineer.

Those who are the part of armed forces and want to become a military engineer can pursue engineering course in a military college.

In fact, the candidates who have completed their bachelor’s degree in engineering discipline with electrical, civil or industrial engineering (https://www.sarvgyan.com/courses/engineering/industrial-engineering) also have the choices to be the part of military engineering.

If you have passed 12th examination with PCM then you are eligible for pursuing B.Tech in electrical, civil (https://www.sarvgyan.com/courses/engineering/civil-engineering) or industrial engineering.

Jobs & Career Scope

There are a lot of career opportunities for you in the field of military engineering. You will get the job in government sector. Also, you can be recruited in government jobs in armed forces. As an engineer, you can support to various formations of Army, Navy, Air Force & DRDO.

Duties of Military Engineers

The tasks of modern military engineering is divided into three fields namely: combat engineering, strategic support and ancillary support.

1. Combat Engineer: Combat Engineer also called as field engineer who performs construction and destruction tasks under battle conditions. The tasks include constructing and digging trenches, bridge and road construction, clearing land mines, etc.
2. Strategic Support: Engineer provides service in communication zones that include construction of airfields, improvement and upgrade of ports, roads and railways communication.
3. Ancillary Support: The services include provision and distribution of maps, disposal of unexploded bombs, mines, and other warheads.

Other duties of military engineers include building bases, roads, bridges, airfields, etc. In peace time, military engineers also plays the role of civil engineers by taking part in the civil-works project.

If you want to go for Defence Research then you have a great genre to work on. You can go for Mechanical Engineering and its correlated fields which has quite a good amount implication in the arms and weapon manufacturing. Also basic science like Physics, Chemistry, Biology with definite specialization can lead you to a great endeavor in the field of Defence. So I would say, you have to concentrate your area of work for a specific designation, for that you have to rewrite your question with specific answers so that we can help you out.

I hope this answer helps. All the very best for your future endeavors!
