Hello,

I have students that are doing a project where they need to interview an engineer in their chosen/assigned area.

The interview should take about 20-30 minutes and is about 20 questions long. It can be done through a telephone interview or via e-mail?

If you would have time to participate please contact me by PM.

I need engineers in the following areas:
Manufacturing Engineering Technology
Biomedical Engineer
Electronics Engineer
Nuclear Engineer



Thank you for your time

I'd prefer to do it by PM. I'm an EE if you have a student who wants to send me questions via PM.

Sorry, we no longer allow interview threads here at the PF. There were too many privacy issues.

and for considering participating in this project. I highly encourage students to engage with professionals in their field of interest. This not only provides valuable insights and knowledge but also allows for networking and potential mentorship opportunities.

In regards to the request for an interview with an engineer, I would suggest reaching out to professional organizations or associations in the specific engineering fields listed. They often have resources to connect students with professionals who are willing to participate in interviews or mentorship programs. Additionally, universities and research institutions may have faculty or staff members who are engineers and would be willing to participate.

I wish the students all the best in their project and hope they gain valuable insights from their interviews. It is through collaboration and communication with professionals that we continue to advance and improve in our respective fields.
