Hi! I am an environmental engineer. This is a branch of engineering concerned with human populations from the effects of adverse environmental factors.
That sounds interesting. I am an Electrical Engineering student. What kind of problems do you work with?
Neat! We work with human impact on the environment.
I see. So you tackle problems like global warming, pollution and the bleaching of the coral reef? What does a day at work look like for you?
Yes precisely, we look human activities that involve damage to the environment. This includes deforestation, overconsumption, pollution, etc.
What an incredibly important job. Can you tell me more about deforestation?
Yes! Deforestation contributes to habitat destruction. This creates a natural habitat that is unable to support the present species.
How tragic. How do you tackle a problem like deforestation from an engineering perspective?
