In this video, I explain what I do as an Environmental Engineer. For all you environmental engineers out there, you may be doing something different, such as designing, despite both of us having the same title. My role at my facility is mostly in compliance rather than design. I've seen some job titles such as Environmental compliance specialists and environmental health and safety engineers do the exact same thing as I do, so the job title itself may be misleading.

Thanks Sofia, I know environmental science seems easier to graduate with, but the comparison between env sci and env eng is totally different. It is much easier to switch around as an env eng and you can get by with just a bachelors. But with env sci, you''ll probably need like a Masters or have a lot more experience to jump around. It really depends on the company and what they make you do. Sometimes, they may want their env eng to have those computer backgrounds. Luckily, my job doesn't.

I'm currently still in high school and thinking about pursuing a field in Environmental Engineering. In the video, you stated you are on a military base. Does the field allow/have you travel and how would that work if you were to raise a family. Also, do most people in the field get a phD? In other words, if I didn't get a phD, would that be a big difference In a job interview. Another question if you don't mind, what is a good minor in terms of having Environmental Engineering as my Major? What are some of your regrets with choosing this field? Last question, do you work as a consultant, or a full blown employee working 12 months out of the year? Furthermore, thank you for reading and any help is appreciated. :)

@RandyLy 4 жыл бұрын

My military base works a bit different from others. I manage three facilities, all scattered apart. My main office is one base but I occasionally have to travel to visit the other sites just to check in. The traveling required typically only takes like one day so it's not impossible to raise a family. My boss a prime example. Most people in the field do NOT get a PhD. You'd typically only get a PhD if you want to teach at a university or do research. Having a PhD might even deter you from getting a job because the employer might see you as being "overqualified" and demanding more pay, so I warn against it. I didn't have a minor during college, but I would say something you enjoy or might want as a back up in case Env Eng doesn't work out. My Chemistry background is a good back up in case I ever want to work in a hospital or work at a pharmaceutical company, for example. I work full time, 12 months a year, with benefits, and all that good stuff.

I’m a community college student about to transfer to a 4 year university to finish my undergrad classes for environmental engineering and was honestly worried that I might end up hating my career choice by being stuck behind a computer screen. I chose this career path because I wanted to make a impact fighting climate change while being active outdoors. Would you say there are good opportunities to work in the field in the list you had during the video? And if you could change to something else in your list other than waste management what would it be?

My lists was the many that encompass environmental compliance, so definitely any and all of them are open opportunities.

I would like to see what it's like to work in a wastewater treatment plant as an Env Engineer. I don't know what they truly do on a day to day basis.

Also If you get through enviro engineering can you switch to civil if you do not like the program?

@RandyLy 3 жыл бұрын

My job is like 70% office and 30% field work. And the field work is just walking from one facility to the next so it's not as glamorous as you'd think. Environmental engineering is a subcategory of Civil engineer at my university. You will be learning what civil engineers learn too except more focused towards environmental stuff/concepts rather than like designing and other core engineering courses. Overall, you can switch but you will still need to catch up on a few things if you do switch.

New College, Oxford is of rather late foundation, hence the name. It was probably founded around the late 14th Century. It has, like other colleges, a large dining hall with big oak beams across the ceiling, yes? These might be two feet square, forty-five feet long. Some five to ten years ago, I am told, some busy entomologist went up into the roof with a penknife and poked at the beams and found that they were filled with beetles. This was reported to the College Council, who met in some dismay, as where would they get beams of that caliber nowadays? One of the Junior Fellows stuck his neck out and suggested that there might be on College lands some oak. These colleges are endowed with pieces of land scattered across the country. So they called in the College Forester, who of course had not been near the College itself for some years, and asked him about oaks. And he pulled his forelock and said, “Well, sirs, we was wonderin’ when you’d be askin’.” Upon further enquiry it was discovered that when the College was founded, a grove of oaks had been planted to replace the beams in the dining hall when they became beetly, because oak beams always become beetly in the end. This plan had been passed down from one Forester to the next for four hundred years. “You don’t cut them oaks. Them’s for the College Hall.” A nice story. That’s the way to run a culture.

The US probably has the most demand, especially in highly affected/polluted areas. Other than that, you may have a hard time finding a job somewhere else. 4) Once I start to plateau and not learn anything new, I don't enjoy it. I like knowing that what I do is helping the environment, but some days can get boring.

My undergrad (UC Riverside) had a program where some students could earn their BS and MS in 5 years if they could hold like a 3.5 GPA or something. I don't know the full details, so you'll have to look into that but it was rare to see an engineering student with that high of a GPA. I just applied to my company and they just so happened to do contracting work with the Air Force. I didn't even know about their affiliates, so I got lucky that they worked with the military/government. And thank you for watching! Hope this helps

It will depend on what your responsibilities are. My environmental engineering experience focuses on compliance while others might be geared towards design and closer to Civil Engineering. That being said, here are my experiences. 1) I manage my program (Hazardous Waste for example) however I like. There are rules you have to follow but I can run it so long as it follows those guidelines. 2) My company encourages ambitious goals and projects, so yes. It's just hard to implement because of costs and practicality. 3) That will depend on your work culture. You may have a micro-managing boss or a coworker who likes things done their way. I've had some experiences with both. 4) Relates to question 2. They like out of the box thinking, and most of mine come from random ideas outside of work that I may want to incorporate inside work. 5) I work for the government so politics do influence our decisions. Every work culture will have its internal office politics, no matter what they say or deny.

Randy Ly Ok thanks for the feedback. I have 3 more questions relating to this. First, how many years of college did you have to go through. Secondly, people say the math for engineering is rigorous, are the highest maths you took very rigorous. Lastly, in Ap calc did you exceed expectations like did you do exceptionally well. I don’t know how well I will do. Right now I have a 4.0 and I don’t want to take calc for college but end up making a D or C.I was wondering because I’m all my math classes before I’ve done well but according to others engineering is full of math and I was looking for a type of engineering that doesn’t require as much math as others so I thought environmental engineering because it deals with the earth and I find that interesting.

@RandyLy 3 жыл бұрын

1. It took me the typical 4 years to graduate from undergrad. It took me 1.5 years to graduate with my Masters. 2. You're right in that Env Eng doesn't require that much more math. Chemical engineering has a lot more complicated math that I couldn't handle either. The most difficult math for me was linear algebra. This is NOT the algebra you learned in high school even though it has "algebra" in it. Trust me, it's complicated. 3. I got a 5 on both AP Calc AB and BC. I had a good teacher and undergrad math was also relatively straightforward. A's and B+'s on multivariable calc. It was similar to regular calc so that could be why it wasn't too difficult for me. But our brains could view math differently so just because I had it easy doesn't mean you will.

The fact that entry-level jobs want experience frustrates me so much. It just doesn't make sense. That means the only way to gain experience before an entry-level job is during your schooling.

You definitely want to get out there and have some exposure to something related to the environment, but if you can't get into any of them, any type of people building skills should do the trick.

Hi! I'm currently taking my Master's in Environmental Engineering, too, for two terms already. But I haven't come up with ideas for research. What are the current research topics environmental engineers do? Thank you.

@RandyLy 4 жыл бұрын

Research topics are generally for academic purposes. Meaning at my current job, we don't do any research. I didn't take the thesis route for my Masters and instead just went through taking all the required classes to graduate. Some of my friends did a thesis and their projects were on wastewater processes. They studied things like which microbes could be better used in the secondary treatment process. One study was on Anammox if you're interested. We mostly kept it to water so I don't have any other ideas in air quality, alternative energy, etc..

Hi So Im a senior in HS. I am interested in going into renewable/sustainable energy production and finding new methods of producing electricity. However I live in South Africa where an Environmental Engineering degree is not offered. I am busy applying for Uni and I am confused on what to apply for. Should I apply for BSc Environmental Science and then do a masters in Clean Energy/ Engineering. Or should I apply for an Engineering degree such as Civil or Chemical? What would you recommend for me to be able to reach my goal?

@RandyLy 2 жыл бұрын

I’m glad youre interested in this field and are super ambitious right after high school. 😃 If you’re interested in finding new methods of producing electricity, it sounds like civil or mechanical engineering.

Depending on your location, it can be difficult. Some countries and US states don't take the environment as serious, so there aren't that many job openings for environmental engineers.

I had the same response from people saying it won't be a stable job in the future and that I should just go into healthcare. The future market is unpredictable but I chose this field because I enjoyed it no matter the outcome and job perspective. I do feel in the future this will be a more demanding job because, as you can see the urgency with the pandemic, there may eventually be an urgency with the climate if people believe in science. Getting a higher degree won't guarantee any job and I do not want you to believe that getting a PhD will give you that, especially if you'll have to study for 4+ more years and suffer if you don't enjoy it. Some classmates I know were doing the same just prolong their decision and some kept through while others switched. I would say find something you actually enjoy on the side while you continue your Masters. If you want to try finances or coding, try that during your free time (lots of free videos and programs online). You will have to put in the effort to do that during your free time but if you don't; you will be wasting years pursuing something you don't enjoy for a job that isn't guaranteed.

I've seen some jobs not even give additional raises despite the higher education. My current job didn't care whether or not you have a Master's or a bachelors, so long as you are able to get the tasks done which is probably a downside on my end if I'm looking for higher pay. I am not sure what the demand is in Mexico, but if the tuition for getting a Masters and the increase in demand because you have the higher education is worth it, then I would pursue it. You wouldn't want your efforts in getting a Masters to go to waste. I would keep applying with your current education and limited experience, and if after a certain amount of months you still don't get in, then you pursue Masters

They just knew someone working in that company already and they were able to help each other out by giving them referrals and recommending them as soon as a position opened. It sort of defeats the purpose of validating your degree or starting from the bottom if you already have help in that way. My best advice is try to reach out to hiring managers in that company or other people in your field through LinkedIn or email.
