Need to interview an engineer for an engineering paper

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion centers on interviewing engineers for insights into homelessness in the United States. Key questions include the engineer's field, motivations for choosing engineering, and their perspectives on societal issues such as "no-sit benches" and homelessness solutions. The forum emphasizes the importance of privacy and anti-phishing measures, noting that interview threads are not permitted. Participants are encouraged to explore engineering solutions to improve living conditions for homeless populations.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of various engineering disciplines
  • Knowledge of social issues related to homelessness
  • Familiarity with ethical considerations in engineering
  • Awareness of community engagement strategies
NEXT STEPS
  • Research engineering solutions for social issues
  • Explore case studies on homelessness interventions
  • Learn about community-based engineering projects
  • Investigate ethical frameworks in engineering practices
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, social workers, urban planners, and anyone interested in the intersection of engineering and social issues, particularly homelessness.

TL;DR
I am a first-year engineering student and am doing a research paper on how engineers can help in the fight against homelessness in the U.S. I need a primary resource for this paper. It is only a few questions, I would appreciate any well-thought-out answers. Thank you in advance.
1. What is your field of engineering?

2. Why did you choose to become an engineer?

3. What do you enjoy most about your work?

4. How well are you aware of homelessness in the United States, and more specifically, where you live?

5. What is your opinion on examples such as “no-sit benches” and strategically placed rocks or fences that attempt to hinder any homeless encampments?

6. Using the knowledge from your particular field of engineering, what is one solution or idea you might suggest that could help decrease the number of homeless in America/better the living conditions of said populations?

Sorry Cody. For privacy and anti-phishing reasons, we have not allowed interview threads at PF for a number of years. Good luck on your project.
