I need to interview an engineer, asking him questions about his or her career.

In summary, the speaker was given an assignment to interview an engineer about their career, but had trouble finding one as they did not know any personally. They are now looking for an engineer who would be willing to answer some questions about their career, including their interests, educational background, type of engineering, and design process. However, due to privacy and anti-phishing reasons, interview threads are not allowed on the PF anymore.

About a week ago, I was given an assignment to interview an engineer, asking things such as why he started his career and what his proffesion was. However, there is a problem. I do not know any engineers, I failed to find any engineers in my family or through any of my families friends. So I am looking for an engineer who would be willing to answer some simple questions about their career.

Name (Optional):

What made you interested in engineering?:

What is your educational background?:

What kind of engineering do you do?:

What is your design process?:

If you wish to answer these questions, that would be great. Thanks for your time.
