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.

So I Married My Lab Partner: Katrina and Evan Bahr
It is very hard to predict the type of engineering career someone may have when they graduate from university. In fact, there are so many different roles and responsibilities for engineers. For example, engineers can be involved in consulting, technical design, project management, sales, and so much more. It takes all kinds of different engineers, working in a variety of roles, to accomplish successful projects.
In this episode we sit down with Katrina and Evan Bahr. Katrina is an Industrial Systems engineer working at SaskPower, and Evan is an Environmental Systems engineer working at Bird Construction. In this conversation they talk about their engineering careers, how they met during university studies, and what they are currently working on as project managers! Both Katrina and Evan highlight a favourite project from their career, and they offer advice to young people considering engineering.
