Environmental Engineering

Definitions of Environmental Engineering as adopted by the American

Academy of Environmental Engineers and Scientists.

The professional discipline of Environmental Engineering is defined as

the application of engineering principles to improve and maintain the
environment for the protection of human health, for the protection of
nature's beneficial ecosystems, and for environment-related
enhancement of the quality of human life.

What do Environmental Engineers do?

Environmental Engineers use the principles of engineering, soil

science, biology, and chemistry to develop solutions to environmental
problems. They are involved in efforts to improve recycling, waste
disposal, public health, water supply and drainage, and water and air
pollution control. Environmental engineering is a sub-discipline of Civil
Engineering and Chemical Engineering
Everything is soon to be trash…
Return more waste to the Environment….
Remedy / Clean-up is necessary.

Clean technologies should be designed.

Limits must be discerned.

Sustainable development should be ensured.

That’s where
Environmental Engineering
comes in.
