Engineer Interview

In summary, you can interview an engineer even if you are not a scientist as long as you have a genuine interest in engineering and ask thoughtful questions. The purpose of interviewing an engineer is to gain knowledge about their work and perspectives, and to understand engineering processes and challenges. To prepare for an interview, research the engineer's background and prepare questions and familiarize yourself with technical terms. During the interview, ask about their education, job responsibilities, challenging projects, approach to problem-solving, and future goals. It is generally considered inappropriate to directly ask about salary, but you can inquire about their compensation and benefits package.
