Environmental Engineers are responsible for the design, monitoring, and management of systems that protect natural resources and reduce environmental pollution. They often design processes and systems to reduce environmental pollutants, such as air and water pollution, and develop ways to properly dispose of hazardous materials. They are also involved in research and development of new technologies that can help prevent environmental damage. Environmental Engineers use their knowledge of engineering and science to develop solutions to minimize or eliminate the environmental impacts of activities, production processes, and products. People enjoy this career because it is a way to actively contribute to the protection of the environment. It is also an exciting field, as technology and knowledge continue to develop, creating new opportunities for Environmental Engineers to innovate and improve their skills.
