About Environmental Engineering

Research in environmental engineering focuses on the understanding and management of physical, chemical, and biological processes in the environment and engineering systems.

Environmental engineers bear tremendous responsibility and are essential for the proper functioning of society, developing the technological innovations needed to safeguard, improve, and economize infrastructure and society.

They design systems that produce safe drinking water, treat wastewater so that it can be reused and/or safely returned to the environment, accommodate municipal and hazardous waste, mitigate air pollution, and protect public health. They ensure that the built environment functions properly following disasters such as earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, and terror attacks.

By 2050, 70% of the world’s population will live in urban areas — this represents an increase of 3.5 billion people over today. Climate change and population increase in the 21st century will impact urban environments in many ways — water scarcity, global sea rise, more frequent and severe storms, and hurricanes. As a result, a major global engineering challenge is how to create and rebuild cities of the future to be fully sustainable.
