Biological Engineering (B.S.)
Environmental Emphasis
Environmental Emphasis

Conservation and improvement of air, soil, and water qualityis critically important, and engineering expertise is frequently required to achieve it. Biological engineers address measurement and continuous monitoring of environmental variables, development of techniques for biological treatment of industrial and animal/humanwastes and pollutants, design of sustainable systems, and design of treatment facilities. After graduation, employment opportunities exist with industry, environmental consulting firms, regulatory agencies (Environmental Protection Agency, state departments of environmental quality, etc.), or with service agencies (Natural Resources Conservation Service, Corps of Engineers, etc.).
