Civil engineers design and supervise construction of bridges, buildings, roads and other structures. They may focus on transportation, environmental, structures or geotechnical projects. Environmental engineers design systems and solutions that prevent or remediate pollution of the air, soil and water. They promote public health through infrastructure and treatment systems that provide potable water, treat wastewater, and manage solid waste. Environmental engineers also design and use models to assess the environmental impact of current and/or proposed actions.
