b. treatment of waste
c. Develop solutions to prevent pollution
d. Both a and b
e. Both a and c - correct answer ✔✔d. Both a and b
Which of the following best completes this statement: "Environmental engineers are concerned
with developing engineering systems in order to ...
- Identify mathematical theories describing environmental relationships
- Develop body of knowledge about environmental systems and relationships
- Conceptualize science and engineering principles that care for or restore the natural
environment
