method of entry Environmental engineers must have a bachelor’s degree in environmental engineering or a related field, such as civil, chemical, or mechanical engineering. Employers also value practical experience. Therefore, cooperative engineering programs, in which college credit is awarded for structured job experience, are valuable as well. Getting a license improves the chances for employment.

working conditions Environmental engineers work in a variety of settings because of the nature of the tasks they do. When they are working with other engineers and urban and regional planners, environmental engineers are likely to be in offices. When they are working with business people and lawyers, they are likely to be at seminars where they present information and answer questions. And when they work with hazardous waste technicians and environmental scientists, they work at specific sites outdoors. Most environmental engineers work full time. Those who manage projects often work more than 40 hours per week to monitor the project’s progress and recommend corrective action when needed. This is necessary to make sure that deadlines are met and to ensure that the project is built according to specification
