Air Quality Engineers

Aspiring air quality engineers should participate in at least one internship during college to gain valuable experience and allow them to make industry contacts, which could lead to a job offer after graduation.

Prospective air quality engineers should be puzzle solvers. Successful air quality management requires the ability to work with intangibles. As in most fields, communication skills are vital. Engineers must be able to communicate their ideas and findings, both orally and in writing, to various people with different levels of technical understanding.
