Process
Round 1 numerical questions on FEA, vehicle motion, spring system.
I had to explain the thought process and solve the questions simultaneously which added to the difficulty.
Overall good experience but would recommend revising numerical problems for tech round.
Questions
Questions on solving the vehicle braking distance given velocity and friction.
