  7. Environment: Environment is the aggregate of physical, chemical, biological and social components capable of causing direct or indirect effects in short or long term on living beings and human activities by “ United Nations of Conference of Env 1972, Stockholm, Sweden”

  8. Engineering The profession in which a knowledge of Mathematical and natural science gained by study, experience and practice is applied with judgment to develop way to utilize economically materials and forces of nature for the benefit of man kinds

  9. Environmental Engineering Profession that applies mathematics and science to utilize the properties of matter and sources of energy in the solution of problems of environmental sanitation. These include: • PROFESION OF SAFE, PALATABLE AND AMPLE PUBLIC WATER SUPPLIES • THE PROPOER DISPOSAL OF A RECYCLE OF WASTEWATER AND SOLID WASTES • THE ADEQUATE DRAINAGE OF URBAN AND RURAL AREAS FOR PROPOER SANITATION • THE CONTROL OF WATER, SOIL AND ATOMPSPHERE POLLUTION AND SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF THESE SOLUTIONS

  10. Environmental Engineering • Public health –such as control of arthropod-borne diseases, the elimination of industrial hazards, and provision of adequate sanitation in urban, rural and recreational areas and the effect of technological advances on the environment.
