Environmental engineering is the application of science and engineering principles to improve the environment to provide healthy water, air, and land for human habitation and for other organisms, and to remediate polluted sites. It involves water and air pollution control, recycling, waste disposal, and public health issues as well as knowledge of environmental engineering law.
Environmental engineers conduct hazardous-waste management studies to evaluate the significance of such hazards, advice on treatment and containment and develop regulations to prevent disasters.
Environmental engineers are the technical professionals who identify and design solutions for environmental problems. They provide safe drinking water, treat and properly dispose of wastes, maintain air quality, control water pollution, and remediate sites contaminated due to spills or improper disposal of hazardous substances. Environmental engineers are concerned with assessing and managing the effects of human and other activity on the natural and built environment.
The International University Western Humanities grant its certificate to students to give them opportunities to work in any aspect of environmental protection and experience that will meet the current and future challenges in managing and restoring our natural environment. Our certification will allow students to apply their engineering knowledge and skills to such things as environmental impact assessment, natural resources management and pollution control.
