Why study Environmental Engineering?
How do we build resilience in our natural environment in the face of the climate crisis? What kind of sustainable infrastructure can support our future societies? How do we harness the potential of digital technologies to improve the cities of tomorrow? There are few global challenges that environmental engineering can't impact. It's a powerfully diverse and practical branch of engineering, with the ability to drive real progress on the issues that matter and the ways we live. Environmental engineers are responsible for ensuring the resilience and sustainability of our natural ecosystems and urban environments. The environmental engineering major equips future engineers with the ability to address the challenges of today and those that will emerge in the future. This allows them to pursue a diverse range of career opportunities including design of sustainable cities, management of natural resources and water supplies, development and implementation of pollution control technologies, recovering resources from waste, developing climate adaption solutions and the application of models to inform policies and strategies to enhance the long-term sustainability of economies and societies.
