Yes, many major universities offer a degree in envirnmental engineering. Google search "BS in Environmental Engineering."blaughli said:Thanks.
Is environmental engineering really an engineering discipline?

Is environmental engineering really an engineering discipline? What sort of engineering do you do? I can imagine tons of cool (and world saving) applications of EE, but with Enviro it's more vague... I'm not afraid of hard work and tough math.
Environmental engineering focuses on protecting and improving the natural environment, while electrical engineering deals with the study and application of electricity, electromagnetism, and electronics.
There are several areas where environmental and electrical engineering overlap, such as in the design and implementation of sustainable energy systems, the development of green technologies, and the use of renewable energy sources to reduce environmental impact.
Some common challenges faced by environmental and electrical engineers include finding ways to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions, managing and treating waste and pollution, and developing sustainable solutions for resource management.
Environmental and electrical engineers often collaborate on projects that involve the design and implementation of sustainable energy systems, the development of green technologies, and the integration of renewable energy sources into existing infrastructure.
Some potential career paths for environmental and electrical engineers include working in environmental consulting firms, energy companies, government agencies, and research institutions. They may also pursue careers in sustainable design, renewable energy, and environmental policy.
