环境工程师结合了工程，数学，地球科学，土壤科学，生命科学和材料科学的原理，重点是设计和开发解决环境挑战的解决方案，例如改善水质，控制空气污染，安全处置废物以及我们自然资源的管理。导致获得环境工程理学学士学位（BSEV）的学习计划反映了该专业的广度。该课程为毕业生做好准备，以建立物质和能量的平衡，分析空气，水和土壤各相之间以及之间的物质的命运和运输，进行实验室实验并分析和解释由此产生的有关空气，水，土地和环境健康的数据，设计环境工程系统，其中应考虑风险，不确定性，可持续性，生命周期原则和环境影响，并应用与计
Environmental engineers integrate principles of engineering, mathematics, earth science, soil science, life science, and materials science with emphasis on the design and development of solutions to environmental challenges, such as improvement of water, air pollution control, safe disposal of wastes, and the stewardship of our natural resources. Employment of civil engineers is projected to grow 5% from 2018 to 2028. As current U.S. infrastructure experiences growing obsolescence, civil engineers will be needed to manage projects to rebuild, repair, and upgrade drinking water systems, wastewater treatment systems, solid and hazardous waste management facilities, renewable energy facilities, groundwater and soil remediation, air pollutant emissions, and other critical infrastructure to protect the public health and the environment. Applicants who gain experience by participating in internships while in college will have better opportunities, and those who enter the occupation with a graduate degree will likely have the best prospects. Opportunities for environmental engineers should be good because of the need to replace workers who will be retiring.
