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.

Industrial Systems Engineering: Rob Jones
Do you like industrial projects? Are you interested in manufacturing and processing modern resources? Do you want to help companies improve their efficiencies, quality control, reliability, economics, and sustainability?
In this episode we sit down with Rob Jones to learn about Industrial Systems Engineering. Rob has been teaching laboratories at the University of Regina in our Industrial Systems engineering program for over 37 years! In our conversation he explains how laboratories help enhance the learning that takes place in the classroom. Rob also gives some examples of the industries and careers that Industrial Systems engineers work in after they graduate.
