ENERGY AND ENVIROMENTAL ENGINEERING

· Some of the most interesting and productive developments in engineering have taken place at the interfaces between conventional engineering disciplines,

EXAMPLE: Energy engineering

· Energy engineering relates to study of application of a mix of engineering disciplines, such as mechanical and electrical engineering, to solving the problems of extracting, collecting, and utilizing energy resources to satisfy human needs without destroying the environment.

· An interesting new growth area for energy and environmental engineering graduates and post graduates is in the emerging and rapidly expanding renewable energy industries.

· Wind power is leading the race to expand but some of the others for example solar electricity from photovoltaic, are not far behind.

· There are also tremendous career opportunities in wind,wave,hydro and solar energy areas.

· Environmental engineering is the application of science and engineering principles to improve the environment (air, water, and/or land resources), to provide healthful water, air, and land for human habitation and for the other organisms, and to remediate polluted sites.

· In TamilNadu B.Tech energy and environmental engineering is offered in TAMILNADU AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY-COIMBATORE.
