Abstract

A Large Number of engineers take part in the design of weapons technologies. In the United States, for instance, the Department of Defense (DOD) advertises itself as “one of the world’s largest engineering organizations” [1].

Three of its counterparts—Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, and Boeing—ranked in the top ten.
