The
scope of this department will examine environmental protection ranging in scale
from local to global. Environmental engineers apply scientific and engineering
principles to the protection of human populations from adverse environmental
factors, as well as the protection of environments from the negative impact of
natural disasters and/or human activity, and the general improvement of
environmental quality. Focus areas of environmental engineering include waste
water management, air pollution control and mitigation, recycling of materials
and waste management, radiation protection, industrial hygiene, environmental
sustainability (including infrastructure design for sustainability), public
health, and environmental law. This may involve developing, implementing, or
improving systems related to water and air pollution control and mitigation, recycling
of materials and waste management, radiation protection, industrial hygiene,
environmental sustainability (including infrastructure design for
sustainability), and public health all within the context of environmental laws
and regulations.
