Hi! I’m extremely confused and lost as to which engineering to apply to( Class of 22 undergrad) . I am very invested in the environment and would love a job where I can work either technology to help environment or just be able to find solutions to fix environment. At first, I thought of environmental eng but then I heard it was a lot of health inspection and more but I want to spend my life solving Earths problems not necessarily evaluating labs. Any help is greatly needed!
Go on a job website like glassdoor.com or indeed.com and search for Environmental Engineer. Look at the job descriptions. Are any of them interesting?
When you talk about fixing the environment…do you have any examples?
Is it how to scrub coal smoke to make it cleaner? Maybe that is Chemical Engineering.
Is it making better flood barriers to prevent flooding of super fund sights? Maybe it it Civil Engineering.
Is it making more efficient solar panels? Maybe that is Electrical Engineering.
