Are you familiar with technical drawing? I work in engineering so it's an important part of my job.
Yes I am! But not a lot, I'm more experienced with engineering simulation. Do you do that in your job?
Well I'm a mechanical engineer. I do some similation for the purposes of structural and fluid analysis. If you mean simulation as in "simulators," then no.
Oh okay got it, that sounds really interesting. How long have you been working at your current job?
I've been working as a mechanical engineer on aircraft product development for about 7 years.
Were you in college before that or at another job?
I was in college before that. I studied physics before mechanical engineering. I also did some elective work in materials science.
Did you do physics in undergrad and then M.E. in grad school?
