<p>At first I thought this type of engineering only applied to the Navy, but I was looking at the Rutger’s engineering programs since I’m almost positive I’m going there and I noticed a Bioenvironmental Engineering major was offered. Is this field drastically less popular than the other fields? Are the job aspects not promising? I can barely find any information on it and what companies seek these kind of engineers except, like I mentioned, the Navy. This is the program: [Department</a> of Environmental Sciences Web Page](<a href=“http://envsci.rutgers.edu/programs/bioeng_ug.shtml]Department”>http://envsci.rutgers.edu/programs/bioeng_ug.shtml) As someone who loved earth science, chemistry, and biology in HS (I never took physics), this prospect seemed attractive to me. I was also contemplating Chemical Engineering at Rutger’s with a concentration in Biochemical Engineering, but I keep getting dissuaded when everyone mentions how impossible they are…Because I love getting dirty as much as I would enjoy working in labs, this seemed like another possible plan for me to consider.</p>
<p>Many schools don’t have it…that’s why</p>
<p>Because I am reasonably sure it is a buzzword degree. I have absolutely never heard of any other program for this.</p>
<p>
Because…</p>
<p>(1) I never studied it,
(2) no one has ever asked me about it,
(3) I’ve never heard of it,
(4) and therefore have no opinion on it.</p>
<p>My friend studied BioEnvironmental engineering and he got AIDS. And I’m not talking financial.</p>
<p>
It’s a term you have made up as an Internet hoax/meme. I’m not falling for it… not with my degree in computational and exothermic astrophysioscientancy engineering.</p>
<p>Bioenvironmental Engineers are employed in the following areas:
Engineering consulting firms
Drinking water, wastewater, solid waste and air pollution treatment facilities
Manufacturing industries
Environmental regulatory and planning agencies
Research laboratories
International development agencies
Public-interest groups
Bioenvironmental Engineering Is An Accredited Engineering Program resulting in preparation for the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam and licensure as a Professional Engineer </p>
<p>I suppose that this degree would be good if you wanted to work for the EPA!</p>
<p>Because it’s really just a super-specialized EnviEng degree?</p>
<p>(which in turn is only really a specialized civE or chemE degree, depending on what your school has it focused on…)</p>
