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.

Have you noticed that more and more engineering schools are starting to offer programs related to energy? The reason for this is that the world has an ever-growing demand for energy and we need engineers that can design and build energy systems that are safe, reliable, sustainable, and affordable. The University of Regina has a new Energy Systems engineering program that has options in petroleum, sustainable energy, and energy transportation and storage.
In this episode we sit down with Delaiya Dutchak and Michael Palsich, the first graduates from the new Energy Systems program. Both Delaiya and Michael studied the sustainable energy option. In this conversation they talk about their experience as engineering students, the new Energy Systems program, and their career plans for the future. Delaiya and Michael also offer advice for young people thinking about studying engineering in university.
