ENVIRONMENTAL

ENGINEERING
Environmental Engineering

 is a professional engineering discipline that create

solutions that will protect and also improves the
health of living organisms and improve the quality
of the environment.
Environmental Engineering is a sub-
discipline of:
 Civil Engineering

 Chemical Engineering

 Mechanical Engineering
Environmental Engineering

is the application of scientific and engineering

principles to improve and maintain the environment
to:
 Protect human health
 Protect nature's beneficial ecosystems
 Improve environmental-related enhancement of
the quality of human life.
HISTORY
Ancient Civilizations

 Environmental Engineering is a name for work

that has been done since early civilizations, as
people learned to modify and control the
environmental conditions to meet needs. As
people recognized that their health was related
to the quality of their environment, they built
systems to improve it.
Modern Era

 ModernEnvironmental Engineering began in

London in the mid-19th century when
Joseph Bazalgette designed the first major
sewerage system following the Great Stink.
SCOPE OF WORKS OF ENVIRONMENTAL
ENGINEERING
 WHAT DOES AN ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEER DO?

Environmental engineers help identify and develop solutions to environmental

problems in order to protect the population from harm or enhance people’s
quality of life. An environmental engineer may assist with a project aimed at
improving a recycling process in a nearby municipality, or may work with an
organization to monitor levels of air pollution and take necessary action.
 ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEER JOB OVERVIEW
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), environmental engineers
consider the earth’s natural resources while applying physical, biological,
and chemical principles to address local, regional, and global
environmental issues. Depending on their specialization, environmental
engineers may work on any of the following projects throughout their
careers:
 Air and water pollution monitoring and
mitigation
 Creation and maintenance of recycling and
waste disposal methods
 Development and maintenance of efficient fuel
methods
ENVIRONMENTAL
ENGINEER
SPECIALIZATIONS
 Coastal Engineering
Coastal engineering involves aspects of civil engineering and focuses on risks and demands
posed by any development along a coastline. Responsible for monitoring the effects of wave
activity, any detriment to coastal flora and fauna, and anything else related to the shore.
 Geophysical Engineering
This specialty of environmental engineering generally examines the methods
involved in extracting various resources from the earth, including minerals, gases,
and oil.
Water Resources Engineering
Water resources engineering focuses on the creation of new equipment for managing
water resources. A water resources engineer may work on projects related to wells,
natural springs, and water treatment plants or related facilities.
 Ocean Engineering
Although related to coastal engineering, ocean engineering more specifically
focuses on the ocean environment and acts as a connecting piece between
various other sciences, including marine biology and oceanography, among
others.
 Ecological Engineering
A relatively new field of engineering, ecological engineering emphasizes the
construction, design, and monitoring of various ecosystems. One of the main goals
of ecological engineering is to help the human population better integrate with its
surrounding ecosystems.
 ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEER
WORK ENVIRONMENT
• environmental engineers may work in an office alongside other team members. In addition,
many environmental engineers are required to travel to specific locations, including water
treatment facilities or waste disposal plants, where they may monitor the systems and
create reports or make recommendations. Those engineers who have completed studies
related to their industry may present this information to various groups or organizations.
