Mechanical Engineering Intern Interview Experience
Process
Two phone interviews were conducted, focusing mostly on basic technical questions.
The questions were not super difficult, and the interviewers were both very nice.
There were no behavioral questions, and the interviews consisted mostly of discussions about projects and technical questions.
I did not receive an offer, as I was relatively new to engineering at the time.
Questions
What are the methods of heat transfer, and which one isn’t present in space?
