What environmental engineers do

Problem solving has gone green. As an Environmental Engineering student, you will integrate biotech and engineering fundamentals. Through professional projects and papers, you will develop expertise in the analysis, manipulation, and design of microbiological systems with applications in the following areas:

• Environmental protection through the use of green and sustainable technologies
• Modern biological wastewater treatment
• Drinking water treatment and distribution
• Bioremediation of toxic contaminants
• Renewable energy production through biofuels
• Bioprospecting – finding organisms from unique environments that have unique applications
• Microbial fuel cells for use in remote aquatic environments
• Biotechnological innovation, metabolic modeling and process development
• Sustainable, low-impact technologies for rural applications of water treatment
