Ecological engineering combines the principles of ecology, natural sciences, and engineering to solve today's most pressing environmental challenges. Ecological engineers develop, restore, and manage ecosystems that sustain both people and the planet by blending applied ecology techniques with engineering design thinking. With its focus on restoration and sustainable development, ecological engineering is a rapidly growing discipline that stands apart from civil engineering, environmental engineering, and environmental science.
