While studying Environmental Engineering, you're learning to use science and technology to design and implement green solutions to mitigate climate change and other challenges facing our society. You’ll develop important skills and ways of thinking that can lead us to a more sustainable future.
These skills may include:
- Analysis, evaluation and monitoring of air, water and soil quality, and developing clean-up procedures for contaminated sites
- Application of fluid dynamics, soil mechanics and open channel hydrology flow to plan and develop sustainable solutions to civil works and projects
- Development and implementation of prevention and control technologies such as air pollution control, soil remediation and solid waste management
- Collaboration through projects with an interdisciplinary team of experts
- Conducting impact studies and technical analyses of field data to identify hazards and risks of engineering projects to the public and environment
- Technical writing skills to prepare environmental reports, assessments, remediation plans and proposals
- Usage of modeling, surveying, and programming software such as AutoCAD and ArcGIS
