Future of Environmental Engineering

The future is likely to see more technological development, population growth and a greater need for enough food for
our growing population, housing and facilities to cater to our growing needs, new farming methods and so on. These are
likely to see more areas needing management to avoid pollution or ecological damage; we will see new potential
contaminants as well as a need to change conditions in some areas to cope with the changing climate. There will be an even
greater need for environmental engineers to help us deal with the potential problems that this future will bring.
- Environmental Engineers guard the quality of our environmental resources in many ways including: environmental
cleanup, water quality treatment, smart waste disposal and preventing air pollution. They design water and
sewage treatment plants that clean water for human use. They design industrial systems and filters that make
sure factory-released water is not polluting our environment. They are challenged to clean groundwater and
restore it to a natural or usable state so that it remains free of harmful chemicals that could make people sick.
- Environmental Engineers continually work to prevent pollution so that our air is safe to breathe and our water is
safe to drink. They explore new, creative ideas to lower air emissions, such as designing more efficient vehicles,
industrial filters to reduce the amount of particulate matter released into the atmosphere, and indoor air filters to
keep our indoor air clean.

-
 In the future, we really need environmental engineers because they are the ones who will changes the world for the
better in the future. So Environmental engineers must have a bachelor’s degree in environment or a related field, such as
civil, chemical, or general engineering.

- Entry-level environmental engineering jobs require a bachelor’s degree. Programs include classroom, laboratory,
and field studies. Some colleges and universities offer cooperative programs in which students gain practical
experience while completing their education.
- At some colleges and universities, a student can enroll in a 5-year program that leads to both a bachelor’s and a
master’s degree. A graduate degree allows an engineer to work as an instructor at some colleges and universities
or to do research and development, and employers may prefer candidates to have a master’s degree.

The median annual wage for environmental engineers was $96,820 in May 2021. The median wage is the wage at
which half the workers in an occupation earned more than that amount and half earned less. The lowest 10 percent earned
less than $59,820 and the highest 10 percent earned more than $153,200.

II. My reflection about Environmental Engineering

Environmental Engineers are the ones who solves the environmental problems around the world, such as air and
water pollution. That is very necessary for lives in the world. So Environmental Engineers must responsible,
knowledgeable and have clear experience to avoid problems that occur every day as climate change, water shortage,
global warming, air pollution and food shortage. And then marking a comfortable life in the future.
III. Conclusion
Environmental engineering is the branch of engineering that is concerned with protecting people from the effects of
adverse environmental effects, such as pollution, as well as improving environmental quality. Environmental engineers
work to improve recycling, waste disposal, public health, and water and air pollution control. That they must have a
bachelor’s degree in environment which they have to study 5 years at university. And they have an obligation to protect our
environment and world in future.
