It has been apparent for a long time that a company or government agency involved in remediation of contaminated or disturbed land needs expertise in soil science. Engineers are usually employed for this purpose but few understand the science of soil. Unfortunately, B.S. graduates in soil science are not recognized for their ability to play an immediate role in non-agricultural fields. Some courses with an engineering approach could be added to the undergraduate curriculum in soil science to render these graduates employable not only in agricultural endeavors but in soil "cleaning" and remediation. Examples of such courses are fluid mechanics, numerical methods, physicochemical methods for soil "cleaning", soil bioremediation including phytoremediation, and a community-based design project. Another option suggested is a BS-MS degree in soil science with a soil remediation subspecialty. This latter option may be attractive to undergraduates entering college with Advanced Placement credits.
