The Green Engineer: Engineering Careers to Save the Earth

The opportunities to combine engineering with sustainability and environmental stewardship in a green collar career are skyrocketing. Engineers trained in aerospace, civil, environmental, mechanical, electrical, chemical, manufacturing, marine, ocean, agricultural, biological, computer, and software engineering (among others) make a difference everyday in their fields.

Green engineering is about designing a more thoughtful future - one that considers people and a healthy planet as much as the bottom line. Green engineers work hard to protect our scarce natural resources and care deeply about all of the creatures that inhabit our fragile world. They concentrate on delivering better environmental conditions for the public through knowledge, research, a caring attitude, and common sense.
