I am struggling finding my niche in engineering, I love the math aspect but also love the environmental and public aspect.

I am currently majoring in civil engineering with a 3.7 accumulative but math Is my thing and I don't get tired of it. I found that choosing the project management aspect of engineering limits me to be more in charge than doing the technical aspect of things. I want to make a difference in this world, but am starting to worry that engineering is limiting in that retrospect. I want the civil aspect of our world to grow more environmentally conscious but don't find the environmental engineering major to be fulfilling.

    Your love of math and environmental impact within civil engineering is a powerful combination. Consider specializing in areas like:
     * Water Resources: Heavy math, direct environmental impact.
     * Geotechnical: Sustainable materials and modeling.
     * Transportation: Sustainable infrastructure.
    Supplement with environmental coursework, explore research/modeling roles, or consider policy/planning. Your math skills are valuable for a sustainable future.
