Environmental Engineering

Environmental engineering involves application of the physical sciences and engineering principles to solve problems that affect human health and the environment.  Traditional focal areas have included application and development of technologies to purify air, water, and wastewater, but the field also addresses solid and hazardous waste management, mitigation of climate change effects, and issues related to sustainability.
