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.

EYES - Educating Youth in Engineering and Science: Kevina Mullock and MacKenzie Chittenden
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode we explore how we can nurture and encourage youth to consider a career path in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). The world needs more engineers, and STEM outreach is a big part of the process to ensure we will have sufficient bright minds to solve big real-world problems in the future!
Kevina Mullock and MacKenzie Chittenden are the Coordinators of Engineering Outreach at the University of Regina. Together they manage and deliver the EYES Program – Educating Youth in Engineering and Science. This program provides youth an opportunity to experience science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in hands-on, interactive activities, workshops, and camps. In this conversation Kevina and MacKenzie explain the various outreach programs they run at EYES, and how similar programs around the country are making a big impact encouraging and attracting youth to careers in STEM.
