It is very difficult to predict the direction an engineering career will take as there are so many options.  One certainty is that an engineer can always take their knowledge and skills with them to address problems and challenges that exist in whatever industry they choose to work.

In this episode we sit down with Mehdi Mohammadpoor to learn about his career.  Mehdi has a background in petroleum engineering, where he completed advanced degrees.  He worked as a research engineer, completing a number of projects for the oil sector.  Eventually, an opportunity arose for him to take his experience and skills to a new sector.  Mehdi is currently the Manager for Risk Modeling at the Farm Credit Canada.  There, he leads a team of data scientists to study risk in financing and insuring the agriculture and food industries.  In this conversation, we will hear about his journey in engineering.  Mehdi offers advice to young people, and reminds all of us that engineers can take their problem-solving skills to any sector.
