Hello,

* Environmental Engineering is a very popular discipline of engineering that deals with the issues related to the environment. The Environmental Engineers devote themselves finding out renewable sources of energy and solutions to curb pollution and other environmental issues. They work for the sustainable development of the earth and its living organisms. They also make devices for waste and water management in rural and urban areas, improved sanitation system, to stop the water-borne diseases. They study the effects of technological growth on environment such as: the effects of global warming, pollution, reason for shortage of rainfall, acid rain etc. In short, the Environmental Engineers are constantly engaged in maintaining the health of the earth and the living creatures on it.

* Environmental engineering is a job type that is a professional engineering discipline and takes from broad scientific topics like chemistry, biology, ecology, geology, hydraulics, hydrology, microbiology, and mathematics to create solutions that will protect and also improve the health of living organisms and improve the quality of the environment.

* Environmental engineering is the application of scientific and engineering principles to improve and maintain the environment to:

• protect human health,
• protect nature's beneficial ecosystems,
• and improve environmental-related enhancement of the quality of human life.

* Environmental engineering is the branch of engineering that is concerned with protecting people from the effects of adverse environmental effects, such as pollution, as well as improving environmental quality. Environmental engineers work to improve recycling, waste disposal, public health, and water and air pollution control, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

* The practice of environmental engineering dates back to the dawn of civilization. Ever since groups of people began living in semi-permanent settlements, they have had to deal with the challenges of providing clean water and disposing of solid waste and sewage. With the growth of cities and the advent of large-scale farming and manufacturing, people have also had to worry about air quality and soil contamination.

* Those who work for the environment may join the undergraduate programme in Environmental Engineering. To hone their skill further they may enroll themselves for the postgraduate programme too. The duration of B. Tech in Environmental Engineering is for 4 years and that of M. Tech programme is for 2 years.

* Some of the Environmental engineering colleges in Tamilnadu are:

• Periyar Maniammai Institute of Science & Technology, Thanjavur
• Sri Sairam Institute Of Technology, Chennai
• Agni College Of Technology, Chennai
• JKK Nataraja College Of Arts And Science, Kumarapalayam
