Department of Environmental System Engineering

Environmental engineers are technical professionals who identify and design solutions for environmental problems. Environmental engineers provide safe drinking water, treat and properly dispose of waste, maintain air quality, control water pollution, and remediate sites contaminated due to spills or improper disposal of hazardous substances. They monitor the quality of the air, water, and land, and develop new and improved means to protect the environment.

Although many people are concerned about the state of the environment, environmental engineers are the people who do things to protect it from damage and to correct existing problems. Environmental engineers possess the scientific and technical knowledge to identify, design, build, and operate systems that make modern society possible. In addition to being a field for executing, the environmental engineering field and environmental engineering education are multidisciplinary. They involve traditional engineering components such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, and engineering design.

Environmental engineers can find careers in many places such as the following; Engineering consulting firms that design and construct air and water pollution control systems, Industries that need to treat their air or wastewater discharges, Private and municipal agencies that supply drinking water, Companies that treat and dispose of hazardous chemicals, and operate treatment facilities for municipalities or industries, Government agencies that monitor and regulate waste discharges, Universities that teach and conduct research on environmental control, Private and government laboratories that develop the new generations of pollution control systems, International agencies that transfer knowledge and technology to the developing world, Public interest groups that advocate environmental protection and etc.
