It involves traditional engineering components such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, and engineering design. To address the spectrum of the issues facing the environment, environmental engineers are broadly educated, as well as technically trained.
Environmental engineers work in many places.
You can pursue environmental engineering as part of a Bachelor of Science degree program or Master of Science Program at New Mexico Tech. The office is located in room 111 in the Jones Hall Annex.
