Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The interviewer called and asked a few basic engineering questions about stress and strain.

These included questions about:

  • Where the load bearing would be highest
  • Basic cantilever principles
  • Material properties of aluminum and steel

Next, they asked about my experiences, what I had done, and why I made certain engineering decisions.

Questions

Two springs support a bar, one made of steel and one made of aluminum.

If they are displaced the same amount, which spring supports more load and which has more stress?
