Ecological Engineering (EcoE) blends engineering and science, and focuses on the design of sustainable systems (natural, urban, and agricultural) that integrate human activities into the natural environment to the benefit of both.
Examples of EcoE-related projects:
Riparian restoration
Optimizing sensor arrays for ecological monitoring
Improving agricultural water quality
Mitigating toxic materials migration from landfills
Developing sustainable industrial systems (agricultural and otherwise)
Developing closed systems for space travel
Dealing with issues associated with global climate change
Green building/infrastructure that increases water and energy-use efficiencies
Graduates with an ecological engineering skill set may find employment in a variety of fields (see figure) with industrial clients, engineering consulting companies, governmental agencies, and entrepreneurial start-ups.
