Bioenvironmental Engineering 4BOX1
The United States Air Force occupation, Bioenvironmental Engineering (BE), is based out of Brooks City-Base in San Antonio, Texas at the United States Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine. Bioenvironmental Engineering blends engineering and preventive medicine. Their role is to identify and evaluate environments that could harm Air Force members, employees, and families. The data from these evaluations help design measures that prevent illness and injury.
