An ecological approach to managing the environment. **ENG Environmental Engineering** - The development of processes and infrastructure for the supply of water, the disposal of waste, and the control of pollution. Includes alternative engineering methodologies to meet society's needs in an environmentally sound and sustainable manner. Preservation of the environment by preventing the contamination of, and facilitating the clean up of, air, water, and land resources. **LAND Land Resource Management and Forestry** - A landscape approach to sustainable resource management, coastal management, biological diversity management, land use planning, or forest succession management.

An example would be the management of longleaf pine forests including controlled burns to imitate natural processes. **REC Recycling and Waste Management** - The extraction and reuse of useful substances from discarded items, garbage, or waste. The process of managing, and disposing of, wastes and hazardous substances through methodologies such as landfills, sewage treatment, composting, waste reduction, etc.
 * BIO Bioremediation ** - Biological remediation of environmental problems using plants.
