• Environmental engineers uphold the dual goals of minimizing our impact on the local, regional, and global environment and concurrently improving our standard of living.
  • In this role of preserving environmental and public well-being, environmental engineers face unique issues and must have a strong background in the earth sciences to understand complex environmental problems and then pose and design appropriate engineering solutions.
  • As problem solvers for something as diverse as “the environment,” environmental engineers also need to understand the most current technologies used in practice and have a desire to maintain a high level of learning in this rapidly evolving field.
