Everyone keeps asking me what is and will be my major goal next year for pre 1. Choice is Military Engineer: Requirements, Duties and Outlook Military engineers can choose various specialties, ranging from project management to combat support. Many engineers obtain officer status, which requires a bachelors degree and additional officer training. Work experience gained by military engineers is applicable to a variety of civilian professions. Show me popular schools Military Engineer Requirements Many military engineering professions require a bachelors degree in civil, electrical, environmental or mechanical engineering or architecture. Students can complete their bachelors degree program at a public, private or military school, but prospective military engineers should consider signing with a branch of the armed services as they enroll in an engineering program. Each military branch has tuition assistance programs, and some students may receive full tuition through Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) programs. The military engineering requirements for officers are similar for each major branch of the U.S. military. For the U.S. Navy, military engineers are part of the Civil Engineering Corps, which requires an engineering-related bachelors degree and completion of a 12-week Officer Candidate School program (navy). Candidates with a college degree have the option of entering the Air Force as an officer and training as a civil or developmental engineer (airforce). Army engineer officers begin with an undergraduate degree and must complete a course in officer leadership (goarmy) 2nd Choice is in music with a double major there. Still think hard about it, but I do know ithis! Preparation at the High School Level Right Now. The following is a list of recommended experiences that will help students in high school music programs make the transition to college music degree programs like me. 1. What I am doing now, Private Lessons. Students steady want to become music majors should begin private study on their instrument or in voice as soon as possible, as experience in a band or choir alone will not be sufficient preparation for a college entrance audition. They must also be proficient in music reading. 2. Aural Skills. Unless a student is blessed with a natural gift, these skills take the longest to develop. Among other skills, students must be able to identify by ear the degrees of a scale being played or sung, the type of triad being played or sung, the interval being played or sung, and the chord factor in the bass or soprano of a chord being played. Students should also be able to tap back rhythms being played or sung and to notate simple tonal melodies being played or sung. 3. Music Fundamentals. Learning the fundamentals of music notation in freshman college theory can be daunting; knowledge is either assumed or is covered very quickly. The material students must know includes meter signatures, rhythmic values, elementary principles of form, written intervals and triads, treble and bass clefs, major and minor scales and key signatures, and key relationships. 4. Vocal Ability. All college music majors, no matter what their principal performance medium, must be able to sing intelligently and in tune. In fact, singing is required for most college entrance auditions. Students must be able to sing back pitches played within and outside their vocal range, sing back notes in a major and minor triad, and sing the major scale with numbers, letters, and solfeggio, and sight-sing simple folk tunes, among other things. 5. Keyboard Skills. All college music majors, no matter what their principal performance medium, must be able to play and read intermediate keyboard literature with ease and fluency. Students should also be able to sight-read one level of difficulty below their performance level and have a beginning knowledge of I, IV, and V harmonization of simple songs. 6. The Right Attitude. If students are passionate about and dedicated to music – as well as being aware of its rigors – then they belong in a college music program. Wish me luck?!
