How should I answer engineering basics questions in interviews?

Depends on your interview stage. If you still in the first stage and the interviewer is a Recruitment Specialist (Doesn't have Engineering Qualifications), make your answer exciting and clarify it with simple example. If your interview at advanced stage with an Engineering Specialist give him a scientific clear answer. E.g. If the interviewer is asking you about Beam (Structure) In the first stage your answer would be free of Pure Engineering Expressions such as bending moment and shear stress..etc . Just make your answer contains80 % for a non-specialist and the other20% for an Engineering Specialist. In advanced stage, do your best to answer by Pure Engineering Expressions and connect it with practical life and Engineering theories Implementation on Practical Life At both cases .. Be100% self confident

After reading the fundamentals of engineering at the university , practical experience  and also revision  ,,,Then you can answer the questions very easily>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Thanks

 

I agree with answers.  ........................

by going straight to the point.

The most important for interview is self confidence and should know what you are talking about.

Iam with the answer of Mr Mahmoud Hassan . It depends on your interview stage. a

All engineering qiuestions are based on some physical principles. Try to master on basic physics principles. When it comes to trade skill, one has to learn those skills by practicing. Skills always come from experience, when academics gives knowledge.

There are two main aspect of interviews, the1st one is with HR where they ask you about academics, general and behaviour based question. If you are short listed then you have to for second round which comprise of technical questions. We don't have fixed pattern for such questions but usually the technical heads  assess candidates on the basics theory, fundamental concepts and its alignment with contemporary practises. You should ask the role for which you are interviewed. Do research a bit before going for an interview. You may take help from social media and other similar role which could help you too some extent.  Best of luck!

We can not answer any discipline except Her therefore difficult to answer on the basis of the specialty that did not have the experience and work done

You need to go to site and see details. or watch some videos on you tube it will help you understand the logic that you would study in book.

all basic structure and material related question can be easily understood if u visit site .

architecture is simple not rocket science

you are supposed to be know a little,you should be conservent,and strong,have a brave and answer the same.
