After college, my plan is to work in the area of weapons design for either the military or sporting firearms industry. A mistake that results in the rifle moving just a few millimeters can result in the shot being several feet off target downrange. Interdisciplinary studies will provide me with the knowledge to take on these problems.

In getting a degree in interdisciplinary studies, I plan on being an even
more well-rounded student in the areas involving design and materials sciences. My plan after college is to work in the area of weapons design for either the military or sporting firearms industry. I would like to focus in the area concerning long range, precision shooting and how to push the boundaries of all the components of a rifle in taking a shot at ranges exceeding 1500 meters. In getting this degree combining design with materials sciences, I hope to be able to take design to a different level by knowing the boundaries and possibilities with each material and how to push the limits of the materials. Interdisciplinary studies will provide me with the knowledge to take on these problems. The design aspect will allow me to visually communicate my ideas to the people around me, while the materials sciences emphasis will allow me to push the limits and capabilities of the materials used in production to make a product of better quality. This career would require combining the aesthetics of the weapon with ergonomics, and combining those with the knowledge of the materials used in production to make a more reliable, efficient system to provide to the military and law enforcement clients. Taking a shot with a rifle at a long
Keel
range requires a lot of equipment and extensive training and practice.
Everything has to work together with the shooter to make this shot happen. A mistake that results in the rifle moving just a few millimeters can result in the shot being several feet off target downrange. In a sense, the rifle itself is a perfect example of the idea of being interdisciplinary. All the parts must fit together like a puzzle in order to work properly; the trigger, the barrel, the scope, even the cartridge in the chamber. All the individual parts must work together in order to make something happen. In looking at this as an interdisciplinary approach, it is easy to break down this problem into a series of simple solutions. As a weapons designer with a background in interdisciplinary studies I would like to undertake the issues and solve these problems in order to push the limits of technology.
