What does the environmental engineering major do?

The main categories of environmental engineering are biological ecology in environmental engineering, environmental hygiene and environmental medicine in medicine, and disciplines related to environmental physics and environmental chemistry. Because environmental engineering is in its infancy, the discipline field is still developing, but its core is the treatment of environmental pollution sources.

It mainly studies how to protect and rationally utilize natural resources, solve increasingly serious environmental problems, improve environmental quality, promote environmental protection and social development by scientific means, and study and engage in science and technology to prevent and control environmental pollution and improve environmental quality.

Main courses: water pollution control engineering, air pollution control engineering, environmental planning and management, environmental biochemistry, environmental pedology, environmental microbiology, solid waste treatment and disposal, environmental impact assessment, advanced mathematics, linear algebra, probability theory, college physics, inorganic chemistry, analytical chemistry, organic chemistry, physical chemistry, college computer foundation, physical contamination control, professional English, etc.

Professional features:

Employment direction of environmental engineering major, civil servants, scientific research institutes, institutions, environmental assessment agencies, or environmental protection departments of some large enterprises.

I. Environmental consultation

Nature of work: Environmental consulting services include environmental impact assessment, environmental engineering consulting, environmental supervision, environmental management system and environmental label product certification, organic food certification, environmental technology assessment, product life cycle assessment, cleaner production audit and training, and environmental information services.

Second, the engineering design (environmental engineering and water supply and drainage)

Nature of work: The main business in this field is the design of various environmental engineering projects (sewage treatment, landfill, gas purification, etc. ) and supporting equipment installation and construction.

Work unit: environmental protection company/design institute, which is the most extensive place for environmental students at present. Early environmental protection companies were relatively small, and they could become leaders in three or four years. However, due to the small scale and informal management, the income is generally low.
