Anyone who is majoring is Ecological Engineering, what has your experience been? If you've graduated, where has your degree taken you? Any pros/cons of choosing eco over environmental?
I'm thinking about declaring Eco engineering as my major, but I was hoping to get some input from y'all.
Thanks!
Hello everyone, I'm a high school senior interested in environmental science and engineering. I've always loved ecology and science. I've done multiple internships with professionals in both the lab and the field, as well as an award winning science fair project based around insect surveys, water systems, and GIS. As I'm looking into careers and majors, I've become more interested in ecological engineering. My state college (Oregon State) offers it as a major.
I was curious about what the career and work landscape looks like within the ecological engineering field. I understand it's a bit of a budding discipline that hopefully will continue growing. Does anyone have any experience with ecological engineering? What sort of entry level jobs could I realistically expect in with that degree? Is this field expected to continue to grow despite some apparent current shifts away from sustainability?
Being able to afford college is looking a little spotty, so I'd like to be able to make my degree count.
Thanks!
