ENERGY AND

ENVIRONMENTAL
ENGINEERING
 What is?

Energy and environmental engineering

 is a branch of energy engineering which seeks to

efficiently use energy and to maintain the
environment. Energy engineers require knowledge
across many disciplines. Careers include work in
the built environment, renewable and traditional
energy industries.
ENERGY ENGINEERING

requires at least an understanding of 

mechanics, thermodynamics, 
mathematics, materials, stoichiometry, 
electrical machines, 
manufacturing processes and energy
systems.
 Environmental engineering
Two main areas

Internal environments Outdoor environments

-may consist of housing or  
offices or other commercial
properties.
–sometimes stands for the
designing of building services
to condition the internal
environment to a comfortable
state
-may be water courses, air,
land, or seas and may
require new strategies for
harnessing energy or the
creation of treatment
facilities for polluting
technologies.
Environmental Engineering:
Three reasons to study
Help overcome natural disasters: awareness of
the adverse effects of human behavior on the
environment has increased significantly over the
last few years

Excellent universities: a lot of

universities all over the world offer
degrees in environmental
engineering.

It’s a versatile field: environmental

engineering is closely related to civil
engineering: both fields focus on
analysing and monitoring safety
regulations of construction projects.
 HOW TO STUDY ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING?

While studying Environmental Engineering, students

learn about basic engineering principles, ecosystem
processes, transporting organic contaminants, air
quality control technologies and principles of
sustainability.

Most programmes also include hands-on experience in

the form of lab and field work. In addition, programmes
also contain modules dedicated to internships or
cooperative engineering programs.
 WHICH KIND OF JOBS CAN I GET BY STUDYING
ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING?

Environmental engineers assess industrial,

commercial and residential sites for their
environmental impact, or calibrate equipment used for
air water or oil sampling.

Graduates of environmental engineering may also

design systems for waste management, reclamation,
transfer and disposal of land, sea and air.
In a nutshell, environmental engineers
combine environmental sciences and
engineering principles in order to improve
and manage the natural environment. They
strive to ensure a growing population has
access to clean water, air and land.
