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.

Pipelines, Energy, and Regulations: Vanessa Cozine
Pipelines are commonly used to transport energy from one location to another. They are complex systems that are designed to be safe, reliable and compliant with federal regulations.
In this episode, we sit down with Vanessa Cozine to learn about pipelines and her experience in the energy transportation sector. Vanessa is an environmental systems engineer with over twenty years of experience, both on the regulator side at the National Energy Board and on the energy transportation side with Enbridge. In this conversation, Vanessa encourages women to think about a career in engineering, and she offers advice to all new graduates when they look for that first job to start their career.
