Explosives engineering is: the——field of science and engineering which is related to examining the behavior and usage of explosive materials.

Topics※

Some of the "topics that explosives engineers study," research, and work on include:

• Development and characterization of new explosive materials in various forms
• Analysis of the physical process of detonation
• Explosive generated shock waves and their effects on materials
• Safety testing of explosives
• Analysis and engineering of rock blasting for mining
• Design and analysis of shaped charges and reactive armor
• Design, analysis and application of military explosives such as grenades, mines, shells, aerial bombs, missile warheads, etc.
• Bomb disposal
• Drilling and blasting
• Demolition
