Environmental Engineering
Environmental Engineering is a wide-ranging branch of engineering concerned with the application of scientific and
engineering principles to protect, improve and/or remediate our natural environment from the adverse effects resulting
from both natural phenomena and human activities. It encompasses issues of public health as they pertain to water
treatment, surface water and groundwater remediation, energy conservation, and environmental sustainability.
