环境工程专业的学生学习运用工程和自然科学各个领域的原理来理解自然环境并开发保护环境和公共健康的系统。通过学习课程并与著名的环境工程学院的老师一起工作，学生们研究该领域的各个方面：空气，气候和能源，可持续水系统，水资源和环境以及污染物的归宿和运输。毕业生在地方，州和国家级的私人咨询公司，行业和政府机构，或在其他行业（例如商业，医学，法律和新闻业）寻求各种就业机会。
Students in environmental engineering learn to apply principles from all areas of engineering and the natural sciences to understand the natural environment and develop systems that protect the environment and public health. Taking courses and working alongside renowned environmental engineering faculty, students study each aspect of the field: air, climate and energy, sustainable water systems, water resources and the environment, and contaminant fate and transport. Graduates seek a wide variety of employment opportunities with private consulting firms, industry and government agencies at the local, state and national levels, or in other professions such as business, medicine, law and journalism.<br>Environmental engineers protect the health of people and the planet. They create solutions to global issues such as clean air and drinking water and manage the earth's water resources by applying basic scientific principles and systems-level thinking to understand, build and maintain sustainable, natural and engineered environments. Environmental engineers help identify critical environmental issues, solve local and global environmental challenges, develop new technologies or processes to mitigate issues and influence policy to drive resolution.<br>Environmental engineers protect the health of people and the planet.
