A degree in Soil & Water Engineering involves the interactions of species with each other and with their environment. The interactions may be affected by environmental contaminants and/or may be used by humans for productive purposes. Large-scale microbial processes such as composting use mixed cultures in stable or sequential consortia determined by their environments. Even large industrial bioreactors producing enzymes, fuels and antibiotics effectively operate as ecologies rather than pure cultures due to genetic drift and low-level contamination.
After completion of degree you can apply for careers like Irrigation and Drainage Engineers, Soil and Water Conservation Manager, Erosion Control Specialist, Water Resources Engineer, Hydrology Specialist.
