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 nêhiyawak (nay-hi-yuh-wuk, Cree), Anihšināpēk (uh-nish-i-naa-payk, Saulteaux), Dakota, Lakota, Nakoda, and the homeland of the Métis/Michif Nation. 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.

Software Systems Engineering: Trevor Douglas
The world of software engineering is exploding. We now see software being developed for all sorts of applications, having a huge impact on our day-to-day lives. If you like to modify and improve existing products and processes, and you like to play around with technology, maybe you have a software engineer lurking inside you!
In this episode we sit down with Trevor Douglas to learn about the Software Systems Engineering program at the University of Regina. Trevor has been teaching software engineering laboratories for 20 years! In this conversation he talks about what he learned in industry, and explains what Software Systems engineering is all about. Trevor shares some fun examples of how software engineers help solve real-world problems, and he offers advice to young people thinking about a career in software engineering.
