環(huán)境工程，顧名思義就是用科學(xué)與工程的方法來改善空氣、水、土地資源等環(huán)境因素，達(dá)到改善人類居住所需要的優(yōu)質(zhì)的土壤，空氣和水資源，以及污染場所以及廢棄物的處理等。
美國環(huán)境工程專業(yè)留學(xué)申請解析：
那么找到了適合自己的專業(yè)和研究方向以后，拋開我們都知道要提升的硬件條件不說(硬件成績包括GPA,托福和GRE成績)，我們主要說下我們的軟件背景的提升。首先如果在本科或者研究生院做過專業(yè)相關(guān)的研究項(xiàng)目并取得了成果，更或是有過相關(guān)論文的發(fā)表，那么在申請的過程中，你的競爭力就會大大地被提升。其次，相關(guān)的實(shí)習(xí)以及工作經(jīng)歷也會在申請中更加有優(yōu)勢。
