Environmental Engineering
Environmental engineers research the impact of technological advancements on the environment. They address local and global environmental issues, including acid rain, global warming, ozone depletion, water pollution, and air pollution from automobiles and industrial sources. Environmental engineering focuses on air pollution control, water and wastewater treatment, hazardous waste management, solid waste management, and environmental remediation. Environmental engineers use various scientific and engineering tools to address these issues, including computer modeling, laboratory testing, and fieldwork. Designing and implementing sustainable solutions is a crucial aspect of environmental engineering. This involves developing solutions that address the ecological problem while promoting long-term sustainability by minimizing waste, conserving resources, and reducing the environmental impact of human activities.
