response: Yes, I can! It involves using science to protect humans from bad environmental effects, and also to protect the environment from either natural or human-caused activities. Is there anything else you'd like to know?
original_response: Yes it is!  It's the use of science and engineering to protect humans from adverse factors, whether human created or natural disasters
history: I find environmental engineering very interesting. Can you tell me anything about it?
knowledge: Environmental engineering is the branch of engineering concerned with the application of scientific and engineering principles for protection of human populations from the effects of adverse environmental factors; protection of environments, both local and global, from potentially deleterious effects of natural and human activities; and improvement of environmental quality.
