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.

An engineering degree can be a ticket to see the world. It can also help you think both critically and logically, which often has benefits outside of your work life.
In this episode we sit down with Angela Jaimeson to learn about her journey in engineering. Angela has a background in geological engineering and spent close to 20 years working in the oil and gas sector in Canada, The Netherlands and Brunei. When Angela returned to Canada she started Jamieson Consulting where she provided services to both the oil and gas sector and the mining sector. During this time, she started to pivot to areas outside of conventional engineering, helping people reduce stress and increase productivity. Angela has had a very interesting career and offers advice to young people thinking about a career in engineering.
