enviromental studies will be well, studying the environmentits pretty vague so i suppose it will touch on many aspects.

 

enviromental engineering will be about engineering the environment. could be anything from office air conditioning to designing habitats.

 

enviromental science will be the science behind the previous two

 

chemical engineering is the design, and construction of chemical plants. again, this covers a lot of things and can range from micro fuelccells to massive oil refineries and associated trans continental pipelines. after two years of this course and a quarter of my way into the third the term 'glorified plumber' seems to becoming more and more apt. theres pipes everywhere.

Oh let's back up and by the way thank you. What does office air conditioning do? What does designing habitats do? I really want to study in Environmental Engineering.

Last time I was in DC, I took a photo of a big pile of garbage in front of the EPA.

I have a friend who is an Environmental Engineer with the EPA. Give me a list (not too long) of questions you would like him to answer and I will let you know what he says.

Chemical Engineering is really nothing at all like the other three.
