Environmental engineering is a distinct engineering profession concerned with the study of the environment as a whole. This sub-discipline employs science such as chemistry, biology, microbiology, hydrology, mathematics, ecology, and hydraulics to conserve the environment in order to maintain a healthy habitat for creatures to survive in. Environmental Engineering is concerned in all key ways with the protection of human health and ensuring that human life benefits greatly from the ecosystem. Environmental engineering is primarily focused with the research and development of environmentally friendly technologies.

Environmental engineers labour to protect public health and the environment. Their job entails avoiding pollution of the air, land, and water. An Environmental Engineer's projects may include estimating water storage and monitoring disinfection needs for drinking water or wastewater systems. This subject of study provides students with an intriguing work environment because they may work both indoors and outside at the same time. The field covers subjects such as alternative energy development, waste management, recycling, and water conservation.
