环境工程在美国属于传统的工程学院下设专业，通常属于的院系是CEE(Department of Civil and Environmental Engendering).
环境工程通常有以下几个分支：
固体废物处理Solid waste management
水文水资源Hydrology and water resources
给排水和污水处理Water supply and wastewater treatment
大气污染治理Air pollution management
综合环评和治理Environmental impact assessment and mitigation

2. 就业情况
1) 就业前景
美国劳工部统计数据称2014-2024环境工程师的岗位需求增长率为12%，高于全美其它工作岗位的平均水平7%。州政府和当地政府都越来与关心水资源利用和治理。 联邦政府也强制要求对受污染的地区进行治理，这些都促成了对于环境工程师的持续大量需求。下面是劳工部的官方内容
Employment of environmental engineers is projected to grow 12 percent from 2014 to 2024, faster than the average for all occupations.
State and local governments’ concerns about water are leading to efforts to increase the efficiency of water use. Such a focus differs from that of wastewater treatment, for which this occupation is traditionally known. Most employment growth is projected to be in professional, scientific, and technical services, as governments at the state, county, and local levels draw on this industry to help address these water concerns.
The requirement by the federal government to clean up contaminated sites is expected to help sustain demand for these engineers’ services. In addition, wastewater treatment is becoming a larger concern in areas of the country where new methods of drilling for shale gas require the use and disposal of massive volumes of water.
Environmental engineers should continue to be needed to help utilities and water treatment plants comply with any new federal or state environmental regulations, such as regulations regarding emissions from coal-fired power plants.
2) 薪资情况
根据2016年5月美国劳工部的统计数据，环境工程师的年收入中位值是84,890美元。收入在最后10%年收入低于49,830美元;收入在前10%的年收入高于130,120美元。根据2016年5月统计数据，在不同行业中的环境工程师的年收入中位值如下
联邦政府(不含邮政系统)：102,280美元
工程服务 84,490美元
地方政府(不含教育和医疗)84,000美元
管理，科研，技术咨询服务 78,670美元
