3. Engineers are problem solvers.
→Use available technology to solve problems
→Rely on creativity and academic skills
→Use math, science, and computers
It is very important to note that even though the
tasks are very different, many of the methods

12. Environmental Engineer
Designs and plans
prevention, control and
remediation of
environmental health
hazards.
Environmental engineers
will frequently specialize
in one area, like air
pollution, water pollution,
landfill design, etc.
13. Water Resource Engineer
Duties
Data collection
Hydrologic and hydraulic modeling
Perform watershed assessments
Preparation of drainage and water
quality technical reports
Conduct stormwater utilities
feasibility studies and
implementation
Perform drainage calculations for
design discharges, open
channels, weirs and collection
systems
perform storm water quality
related design (BMPS)

Editor's Notes
You don’t have to be a genius to be an engineer, but people who become engineers like math, science, and problem solving.
In general this is a flow chart of the steps engineers follow in solving problems.
First, you identify and define your problem
Second, you analyze the problem
Third you design and propose solutions
Forth you refine your proposal
5) And after going through this process you have hopefully found a solution to your initial problem.
Types of engineers include:

On a typical day, I spend the majority of my time working with computer aided design (Autocad and Microstation)
I also spend time traing younger employees, attending team meetings, and sometimes public meetings.
The next few slides are from some of the many projects that I have been involved with since working with Presnell.
