What advice would you offer someone considering a career in Environmental Engineering?
The interviewer is asking this question to hear more about how you got into environmental engineering and what you like most about it. They want to know more about what aspects of the profession you are most passionate about and if that fits with their company's goals and vision. You can discuss how a professor or relative inspired you to pursue the career or discuss your strong interest in protecting the health, welfare, and security of future generations.
"A lot of people I've talked to think that engineering of any sort, not just environmental engineering, is just about math, science, and formulas, and it's not. It's a very challenging and rewarding career that is essential in solving modern-day problems and environmental issues that we are facing as human beings. There will always be engineering jobs. An increase in public awareness of environmental hazards and a dramatic rise in populations is likely to contribute to the rising demand for those who have the knowledge and skills to lead the pack as environmental managers."
