University of Regina introduces new Energy Systems Engineering Program for fall 2023
“Our country has a lot of challenges moving forward with respect to energy supplies, food supplies, clean water, all sorts of issues,” said David deMontigny, associate academic dean of the faculty of engineering and science.“We need young people to be interested in engineering. And on the energy front, clearly, that is an area that is going to require a lot of attention moving forward.”
The majority of new classes will be introduced in the students’ fourth year as they begin to specialize in certain areas of study. “As students, we see ourselves as being responsible for the preservation of our planet by creating sustainable, clean energy while continuing to understand the importance of the oil and gas industry,” said Bailey Armstrong, president of the Regina Engineering Students’ Society.
“It’s exciting that the faculty is taking the lead in adapting to the evolving energy sector by creating a diverse and unique program that will certainly be intriguing to students who want to be at the forefront of that change.”The current, undergraduate Petroleum Systems Engineering program is being phased out and admission has been suspended; however, students currently in PSE will be able to continue in the program through to graduation.
