Civil & Environmental Engineering
Substance of Life
Water, thou hast no taste, no colour, no odor, canst not be defined, art relished while ever mysterious. Not necessary to life, but rather life itself, thou fillest us with a gratification that exceeds the delight of the senses. Saint-Exupery (1939) |
Developing solutions that are socially and environmentally acceptable in the short term, and sustainable in the long term.
Environmental engineering is concerned with assessing and managing the effects of human activity on the natural and built environments. Environmental engineers may be involved in environmental impact assessment, water resources management, pollution control, waste management or the planning and design of engineering facilities to minimise their impact on the environment.
Civil & Environmental engineers can be employed by government departments and instrumentalities, consulting engineering companies, or Civil & Environmental and oil companies, or they may start their own consulting companies.
