With the increasing awareness and concern for the environment, comes an increased demand for the services of environmental engineers, both in the U.S. and abroad. Environmental engineers are employed in designing pollution prevention equipment and systems, designing environmental monitoring systems, implementing both government and industry environmental regulations, designing water and wastewater treatment systems, and restoring ecosystem health. Your degree will prepare you well for entry-level positions with regulatory agencies, engineering consulting firms, and environmental divisions of large corporations, particularly in the energy and manufacturing industries.
