Hello there first year Enviros! Many of you are still probably wondering what it is exactly an environmental engineer does. Despite what your family and friends may think, it has nothing to do with trees. This field mainly revolves a more chemical, physical and biological side of the world around us.

In your first couple of years you will be taught the fundamentals of engineering. They may seem really unnecessary right now, especially linear algebra, but trust me the concepts will continue to pop up throughout your years. In 1A you will learn a lot from your concepts course such as surveying, technical report writing and how to always wear weather appropriate clothes. The important thing to remember is to try and get out and have fun. Good luck!
