Graduate Certificate in Environmental Engineering

New Jersey Institute of Technology

Environmental engineers work hard to turn back the clock to a time when we breathed cleaner air and drank cleaner water. They work closely with business leaders and government officials to institute new air pollution standards that reduce harmful emissions from factories without negatively impacting industrial output. Environmental engineers design complex treatment systems that remove contaminants from our air, water, and wastewater. They also examine the quality of our soil, assuring us that harmful toxins do not seep up through the ground we walk on. Students will learn to develop sustainable solutions to environmental problems, preparing to work with regional, national and global communities to protect the environment and improve water quality. Jobs in this field are essential in planning, designing and constructing water and wastewater treatment plants, solid waste disposal systems, site remediation approaches and emission control measures.
