2.An understanding of the nature of the environment and of human interaction with it is anecessary prerequisite to understanding the work of the environmental engineering.（2页）了解环境性质以及环境与人类相互作用是了解环境工程师的先决条件。
3.Engineers must appreciate the fundamental principles of ecology, and design with theenvironment，so as not to impact adversely on especially fragile ecosystem。
For example ，one of the most fragile of all ecosystem is the deep oceans ，yet ocean disposal of hazardous waste is seriously advocated by some engineers。
