Environmental Engineering has become one of the
most sought after career options, due to the
growing concern about unpredictability of the
environment. Earlier environmental engineering
programs were taught with other fields of
engineering (i.e civil and chemical). By the
mid-end of the 20th century, this field was
recognised as a separate engineering discipline
because of the widespread public concern about
water and pollution.
