Traditionally, nvironmental engineering includes:
1. The identification and measurement of potentially harmful physical chemical, and biological agents in the environment,
2. The transport and fate of these agents,
3. The effects of these agents on people and the environment, and
4. The design and operation of engineered systems for the maintenance end improvement of the quality of our environment.
Historically, it was the sanitary and civil engineers who made cities livable for large populations. However, the role of environmental engineering has been expanding in the past few decades. Increasingly environmental engineers are being called upon to expand the focus of their efforts to address the challenges associated with alternative energy sustainability, climate change, ecological restoration and emerging public Environmental Engineer
