Engineering Conversations
Engineering Conversations has one simple goal... to promote engineering. By having conversations with engineers about their backgrounds and careers, we will showcase a wide variety of industries and explore the types of jobs that engineers perform when they finish university.
These conversations may help young people understand what it is that engineers do in their day to day work. As young people learn about these types of careers, they may be inspired to become and engineer and help make the world a better place.
Engineering Conversations is hosted by David deMontigny, an engineering professor at the University of Regina.
The University of Regina is situated on Treaty 4 lands with a presence in Treaty 6. These are the territories of the Cree, Saulteaux, Dakota, Lakota, and Nakoda people, and the homeland of the Métis. Today, these lands continue to be the shared territory of many people from near and far. They are an important part of our past, and an even more important part of our future.

Electronic Systems Engineering: Dave Duguid
Do you like playing around with electronics? Have you ever fixed your computer, built a small robot, or programmed a control system? Have you noticed that we are surrounded by electronics in our day-to-day lives?
In this episode we sit down with Dave Duguid to learn about Electronic Systems Engineering. For the past 37 years, he has taught the electronic laboratories at the University of Regina. In our conversation he highlights the importance of hands-on laboratories in an engineering education, and he gives examples of the types of careers students can have when they graduate from this program.
