Environamental Engineering: challenges in a world in dangerous
In Brazil we have a lot of options
of major to choose, in private and public universities. Normally, people are
interested in public universities because they do not need to pay to study there.
My parents always support my studying,
so before I chose my major, they gave some options. I researched about it, and
three things called my attention to choose Environmental Engineering.
The first, it was because I always
liked math and to solve the problems, so that is exactly the job of the
engineer. And because Environmental Engineering is expected to have a good
field of work in the future and in some places it is considered important with
a good salary.
In second, I study in a Public
University, so I do not need to pay to study there and normally Public
Universities are better than private universities.
Finally, it was because the
University that I study is in my home town, so I live with my parents, and do
not need to travel or live in another city to study.
Engineering is hard, mainly because
of subjects related to math and projects we need to create. I like to create
projects and to resolve problems that involve my community, for example, flood
problems. In my city, we have problems with hard rain, so I want to resolve or
help my city to get over this problem.
However, I do not like some subjects
in my major. Humanities, chemistry and biology are some that I do not like
because they do not interest me.
My major is considered new if
compared to other engineering, like civil and mechanical, because of that do
not have a lot of field of job like these engineering. But the world needs
someone to create methods to resolve environmental problems and give some ideas
to people follow the right way. In small cities like mine, it is difficult to
find job, but in medium and big cities, there are big companies and there are
vacancies to work for government. I hope to work in a big company to travel
around the world working, or to government.
With my major I can create projects
to resolve problems like air, water and soil pollution, flooding, and to find
solution to problems in a company, like what do with a big quantity of material
that the company will not use.
When I was in Brazil I was working
in some projects in my university and city hall. In my university I have a
project related to reforestation and environmental awareness. Another project
is to flooding that I did an analysis of the areas with the problems and got to
create a map related flooding and time. This project I did in the university
and the city hall, and both support me.
Is common and mandatory to do
internships to conclude our major, we need to work some hours, for example, I
need to work 400 hours and write a report about it.
