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.

Ask the Professor: Questions from a Grade 12 Student
Are you thinking about going into engineering, but you are not really sure what it is all about? You are not alone. There are lots of students in first year engineering that are not quite sure what the profession is all about.
In this episode, Lucas Hollinger sits down with David deMontigny to ask him a bunch of questions related to engineering education, engineering careers, and what to expect. While studying engineering can be challenging, this conversation should help reassure new students that they can be successful. The magic recipe is simple: go to class, do your homework, and ask for help when you need it.
