Environmental Engineering/ Water Resources | day in my life as a grad student 

This makes me so happy to hear! Thank you! Definitely will be posting more this year so stay tuned for more of these videos :)

Hi, Does it require any programming/coding skills ?

Thank you ☺️ that’s so sweet of you!

That’s amazing! I encourage you to go for it if you like the research component of it all! Good luck to you at your job 🥰

Great. I am doing environmental for bachelor. Which companies to you recommend interning for. Was thinking NASA and EPA

Hi! So good to hear you’re doing the same thing. & thank you so much, it’s definitely something I enjoy researching!

This is a great idea! I will look into this for sure and make a video on this topic 😊

Agreed!

Hi there, in my opinion I would say grad classes are easier then undergrad. I have less tests but more presentations. Less assignments but more class participation and group projects. However if you do research, like I am that can be “harder” in some ways because you are having to do a lot of writing and experiments and sometimes things don’t always work out how you would expect so it’s a lot of trial and error. I would say the things I learned in undergrad are really helpful and your background in Environmental Eng is a great foundation for EWRE!

The rio grande! So cool you go to Tech I have a few friends that went there for undergrad :) not 100% sure what career path I’m gonna take yet!

Yes I do. My personal computer is a Mac and the windows laptop is provided to me by my university. I use the windows when I need to use specific software like ArcGIS or MatLab and my Mac for everything else!

Hey there, renewable energy and environmental engineering definitely go hand in hand, so yes you can do it! I’m actually doing that right now for my internship. I feel like environmental engineering is such a diverse degree where you can get so many different type of jobs and working w renewables is definitely one of them!

I have not, but I need to go, it looks awesome!

Civil engineering

Civil engg.

This is a great question! Water resource engineers can do a lot of different things, same with environmental engineers. On a typical day you might work on establishing sustainable use of resources by conserving water, building dams and conveying water to users. Designs water or wastewater treatment plants for cities or industries. Design and implement river, lake, and stormwater quality sampling and analysis programs. Design and manage programs to clean up polluted land and water. Work with private companies, governmental agencies, and public organizations to assure environmentally responsible development of new projects. Develop recycling programs to maximizer reuse of wastewater and solid wastes. Develop long-term management plans for water, air and land resources. Present environmental solutions at public meetings. And this list continues... but these are just some things that I have either seen colleagues work on, I have done, or have read about. Hope this helps!

@@nataliegayoso Thank you so much.

I’m not familiar with ecological engineering. It wasn’t a discipline offered at my university but I looked it up and it seems like yes, you can work as an environment engineer w that degree! Good luck to you :)

Of course!

Yes! It’s a discipline within civil engineering!
