Tell me about the first thing you design
The interviewer is interested in learning about your early design work in order to determine how long you have been engaged in mechanical engineering. This question allows you to demonstrate your enthusiasm for mechanical engineering and how long you have been creating and problem-solving. Your response should describe your background in design and problem-solving. Talking about your early designs, even if they were as rudimentary as making things out of household objects, helps the interviewer comprehend your background in mechanical engineering and your thought processes.
Example answer:
Every engineer has a favorite engineering duty, such as solving equations, design engineering, making prototypes, testing, engineering analysis, or conveying the design. I've always been interested in design and construction. The intriguing tale is that I began looking for ways to develop new things as a youngster.
Toy vehicles were my favourite when I was a kid, but the absence of practical steering upset me. I created a toy vehicle with a steering mechanism that is quite useful. I spent hours deconstructing my automobiles, attempting to figure out how to make and include an axle while still getting the car to turn properly. The sense of accomplishment I had when I eventually got it to operate was tremendous. It inspired me to keep designing, solving problems, and working on various projects, including participating in a design competition as part of a high school team. Everything eventually led me here.
