Environmental (and water resources) engineering
is the discipline where professionals design and
manage systems that:
- provide
and transport safe drinking water
- properly
transport and dispose of wastes
- maintain
air quality
- clean
up chemically contaminated land
- help
industry to minimize risks to the community
- minimize
impacts from urban storm water
- control
flooding
- store
water for various purposes
- and
protect and restore the quality of our air, water,
and land.
It
is fair to say that environmental and water resources
engineering is vitally important to human society.
Where
do Environmental and Water Resources Engineers Work?
You have your choice of job environments from the
type of organization, to the actual job setting.
You can be involved primarily in design, primarily
in operation, primarily in construction, or a combination.
The organizations to work for include:
- governmental
regulatory agency (federal, state, local)
- governmental
research organization
- consulting
engineering firm
- industrial
facility's environmental division
- non
profit agency/advocacy group
- community
utility
- academia
Why
do you need a M.S. Degree?
Environmental and water resources engineering
professionals typically need a MS degree to advance
because:
- The
profession combines aspects of civil and chemical
engineering, as well as the natural and social
sciences that cannot be covered in most undergraduate
curricula.
- The
profession involves regulatory knowledge, sophistication
with laboratory techniques and computer modeling,
and an ability to deal with site specific problems.
- Many
state registration boards are requiring continuing
education activities to maintain licensure.
- The
American Society of Civil Engineers and the Association
of Environmental Engineering and Science Professors
have called for the M.S. degree to be the first
professional degree.
- Many
professionals in this field do not have engineering
undergraduate degrees and need the engineering
credential for advancement.
