Overview
The goal of environmental engineering is to make sure that societal development and the use of water, land and air resources are sustainable. This is done by managing resources so that environmental pollution and degradation is minimized.
As an environmental engineer, you will study water, soil and air pollution problems. With this knowledge, you can develop technical solutions needed to solve these problems in a way that acknowledges legislative, economic, social and political concerns.
