Environmental Engineering

 

                                                 

Environmental Engineering is mainly the study about the effect of technological advances on the environment. It is also defined as the integration of Science and Engineering principles which is the authoritative peer-reviewed journal publishing state-of-the-art studies of innovative solutions to problems in air, water, and land contamination and waste disposal. Published monthly online, the Journal features applications of environmental engineering and scientific discoveries, policy issues, environmental economics, and sustainable development . .

It is more concerned to find out plausible solutions in public health field , such arthropod-borne diseases, implementing law which promote adequate sanitation in urban, rural and recreational areas. 

Environmental Engineering Science covers following portions:-

• Climate change
• Complex and adaptive systems
• Contaminant fate and transport
• Environmental risk assessment and management
• Environmental sensors
• Green technologies
• Industrial ecology
• Sustainability
• Environmental policy
• Energy and environment
 

 

Environmental Engineering programs follow either the Civil Engineering department or Chemical Engineering department at most of the Engineering institutes.
 
Environmental "Civil" engineers focus on -hydrology, water resources management, bioremediation, and water treatment plant design.
 
Environmental "Chemical" engineers, focus on- environmental chemistry, advanced air and water treatment technologies and separation processes.
