LOCATION: WEST LAFAYETTE
Environmental and Natural Resources Engineers (ENRE) learn about ecosystem processes (the water cycle, nutrient transformation processes and biological systems), how human activities such as agriculture affect these complex systems, and how to design sustainable solutions. You will also gain the background in chemistry and biology necessary to understand the influences of contaminants on the environment.
Basic engineering principles, as well as some of the newest technological approaches including geographical information systems, finite element analysis, sensor design, hydrologic modeling, and soil and water remediation are applied to solve challenges related to soil and plant environments, surface and ground water quality, air quality, animal environments, and food safety.
