Nicole Added Friday, July 17, 2015 at 2:33 PM Is environmental engineering right for me? I am a current engineering student that has just finished her first year of college. At my school we don't have to specialize until sophomore year so all engineering students take pretty much the same core classes.

I know that I really want to do something related to the environment, but I'm worried that I would be limiting myself by studying something as specific as ...
