What Does an Environmental Engineering Do?

As we know, the current environmental conditions due to the industry's increasingly


worrisome. many of them damaged by the process of the disposal of industrial waste that is
not responsible. The pollution of many occur starting from the pollution of soil, water, air,
until the sound though.
Thus, we need some people to tackle the problem of pollution due to industrial activities and
other activities. The people is an environmental engineering. Our environmental laws would
mean little without professionals like these who know how to implement them at the facility
level. These valuable professionals help control pollution, and design new technologies to
engineer a better world.
Environmental engineers respond to the challenges posed by a growing population,
intensifying land-use pressures, rapidly evolving technology, and increasing government
regulations. The environmental engineer must develop technically sound solutions within the
framework of maintaining or improving environmental quality, complying with public policy,
and optimizing the utilization of resources. The engineer provides system and component
design, serves as a technical advisor in policy making and legal deliberations, develops
management schemes for resources, and provides technical evaluations of systems.
Through the current work of environmental engineers, individuals and businesses are
understanding how to coordinate society's interaction with the environment. There will
always be a need for engineers who are able to integrate the latest technologies into systems
to produce needed food and fiber while protecting natural resources.
As of 2012, the greatest number of environmental engineers (28%) worked in architectural,
engineering, and related services. Another 21% were employed in management, scientific,
and technical consulting services. 13% worked in state government, 7% in federal
government, and 6% in local government.
Environmental engineers work in various settings. They usually work from in offices while
planning designs or working on environmental permitting and regulatory issues. However,
they may work at industrial sites or outdoors while conducting inspections or coordinating a
facility's waste management activities. Most environmental engineers work full time. Those
who manage projects often work overtime to monitor progress and meet deadlines.
Specific areas of work include:

Design and evaluation of erosion control systems

Environmental management

Systems and processes for management and utilization of wastes


Design and management of water control systems
Inspection, evaluation, and reporting for regulatory compliance
Air quality monitoring, air emission measurement and modeling, air pollution
mitigation and control, and air dispersion modeling

Environmental restoration
