Environmental Technicians may work for environmental/engineering
consulting firms, local or state regulatory agencies,
manufacturers, recycling and waste management companies and
local utility and public service (works) departments. They
perform tasks such as environmental sample collection and
monitoring, instrument calibration, report writing and data
management. Environmental Technicians may help clients comply
with governmental environmental standards, assist in field
investigations, work as a team member on a waste or
contamination site. They use computer skills to work with
environmental data as well as the concepts of chemistry,
biology, meteorology, geology and hydrology to help
professionals determine the movement and effects of
environmental contaminants. Not all courses in this program
transfer to all colleges. Students planning to transfer
should see an academic advisor before enrolling in any course. |
