Advances in information technologies, materials science, biotechnology, energy engineering, and many other disciplines—including environmental engineering—are converging at the quantum and molecular scales. This molecular terrain is common ground for interdisciplinary research and education that will be an essential component of science and engineering in the future. Much like the digital computer and its impact on science and technology in the 20th century, the tools that serve as portals to the molecular realm will act as both instruments of discovery and rallying points for social interaction between researchers from many disciplines. In this setting, environmental engineers and scientists will take on new roles in collaborating with materials scientists, molecular biologists, chemists, and others to address the challenges of meeting society’s needs for energy and materials in an environmentally responsible fashion.
