Tuesday, March 26 · 7:00pm-8:30pm CST · Engineering Month Workshop—Introduction to Python
Python has become one of the world's most popular programming languages. It is powerful, flexible, and extremely easy to learn, and has become a favourite for people ranging from computer scientists and data analysts to programming neophytes.
Edwin van der Spuy, a Control Systems Analyst at the Canadian Light Source, will present a brief overview of Python. Then a typical "real-world" example will be tackled. No programming experience or preparation is required.
Edwin's career has included working as a radiation scientist at the South Africa, as a data analysis consultant to BC Hydro, and providing data acquisition support to a mineral processing research group at McGill University.
In addition to his controls systems work using EPICS, he is involved in the continuing development of Python based tools used to supply information regarding the control systems and user interfaces.

Thursday, March 21 • 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM CST • SES Engineering Month Workshop—Intercultural Awareness
As our world becomes increasingly multicultural, understanding differing approaches for interaction becomes increasingly important.
This session uses an experiential exercise to teach intercultural competency. Attendees have an opportunity to reflect upon communication and how we retreat into assumptions, confusion, conformity, and/or frustrations when those around us ‘speak’ differently (both verbal and non-verbal communication).
Dr Trisha Dowling is a veterinarian and professor of veterinary clinical pharmacology at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine. The WCVM mostly pays her to teach clinical pharmacology, but in 2010 she snuck the first mindfulness based stress reduction course in to a veterinary school curriculum for credit – all without mentioning the words “yoga” or “meditation”. She has received numerous teaching awards including the Norden Distinguished Professor, the UofS Provost’s Teaching Award and the UofS Master Teacher’s Award.

Tuesday, Jan 30, 2024 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM CST - SES Lecture—Coal and Energy Anxieties
Dr Watson provides a lecture on the intertwined relationship between Canadian Democracy and Coal Energy.
Dr Andrew Watson is an Associate Professor in the Department of History at the University of Saskatchewan. As an environmental historian, his research explores the relationships between humans and the non-human world in the past. One of the projects that he’s currently working on is a history of coal in Canada between 1850 and 1950, which aims to understand how fossil fuel energy informed notions of liberalism, and how support for, or opposition to, the liberal order in Canada shaped the patterns of coal production and consumption across the country
Liberalism and the mineral energy regime are inextricably linked. Just as the liberal order expanded to include groups of people it had previously excluded, so too did the mineral energy regime (simultaneously) extend its material realities into the lives of more people. This presentation will briefly introduce these ideas before moving on to explore how energy anxieties of the interwar period (1920s and 1930s) demonstrate the limitations and opportunities imagined as part of this relationship between liberalism and fossil fuel energy.
Location: Arts Building Rm 108, 9 Campus Dr Saskatoon, SK S7N 5A7

Tuesday, December 5, 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM —SES Lecture—AI, Ethics, and Intellectual Property Rights: A Guided Tour for Engineers
In hist talk, Dr Buschert will be looking specifically the question of whether an AI can be the kind of thing that can be (or should be) the bearer of Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs), such as copyrights or patents.
Our existing moral justifications for IPRs assume that the rights-holder is human. Can a non-human entity claim IPRs? Determining this requires requires clear about what we mean by these things and why, perhaps, we need to re-evaluate how IPRs are justified in the first place.
This is an in-person event at Room 2C88 Engineering Building, 57 Campus Dr, Saskatoon, SK S7N 5A9

SES Engineering Month Industrial Tours and Activities
March 31 @ 19:00 -- SES Engineering Month Lecture―Agile Engineering
Traditionally, it was almost taboo for Engineering projects to practice Agile methodology as it was considered a structureless practice with such a large degree of unpredictability. With Agile engineering, however, teams can quickly iterate, test, and gather feedback on product designs. They are able to translate large chunks of work into manageable tasks, resulting in faster and more accurate product development and project delivery. In this talk, it will be considered how agile techniques can be applied to engineering projects to achieve success beyond traditional approaches.
Join the SES to learn about Agile Engineering from Felix Akanbi.

SES Lecture—Speaking of Diversity in Engineering -
Diversity in Engineering is an ongoing commitment which requires ongoing attention.
Historically, engineering and control systems have had a rather homogeneous set of participation, which is caused by a variety of factors ranging from bias to long held social norms and company and government policies which do not to support broader participation in the workforce. Additionally, when achievements are experienced by more diverse members, they are often overlooked or diminished which contribute to high dropout rates.
By failing to improve inclusion, the damages and lost opportunities lie not just with those who are not included, but with the industry as a whole. A more diverse cast offers a wider array of experiences and knowledge known to lead to better solutions. To improve this, broad changes are necessary from how we view and support less traditional candidates to how employers and governments support workers and families.
Karen White has spent more than two decades in the management of control systems for large experimental physics facilities and is currently the Control Systems Section Head for the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and is active in organizing international accelerator control system collaborations and conferences.
Karen holds an MS in Computer Science from Old Dominion University, and an ME in Engineering Management from George Washington University. In addition to her leadership roles, she is committed to improving diversity and inclusion in science and engineering.

Darryl Lee is a seasoned electrician and electronics technician with a Red Seal and several decades of experience ranging from the Canadian Armed Forces to a manufacturing plant.
Over the course of this experience he has diagnosed and corrected issues with systems ranging from the electrical to the pneumatic. In his "spare" time he likes to build and operate amateur radio equipment.
