Our students work in large engineering firms, government agencies, small and mid-size firms nationwide. Our work cannot be “farmed out” abroad as the infrastructure problems must be solved where they exist. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics CEs will see the largest job increase among all engineers in the coming years. An 18% employment growth is expected with 46,000 jobs across the civil engineering industry (www.collegegrad.com/careers/). This increase is due in part to a general population growth and the related need to improve civil infrastructure nationwide. CEs are needed to repair existing roads and other public structures, as well as design and create new structures. An increasing emphasis on “green” building is expected to increase the need for CEs with experience in pollution control systems.
Environmental Engineers have rewarding careers in industry, government, and academia. Our graduates work at large engineering firms and small and mid-size Civil & Environmental Engineering Firms nationwide. Quite often ENVEs work outdoors! ENVE work cannot be “farmed out” abroad as the problems must be solved where they exist.
