Mechanical Engineering Interview

Hi everyone,

I’m a retired Air Force veteran and current manufacturing/field engineer pursuing a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering through Arizona State University using VA VR&E (Chapter 31).

As part of my vocational planning requirements, I need to conduct 2–3 brief informational interviews with practicing Mechanical Engineers, Manufacturing Engineers, or engineering professors regarding the profession, job outlook, educational expectations, and day-to-day work.

My background is already heavily hands-on (machining, fabrication, CAD/CAM, prototyping, welding, manufacturing support), and my intended path is Mechanical Engineering in manufacturing/product development or aerospace/defense.

This would only take about 10–15 minutes via Reddit DM, email, or phone, and I can provide the interview questions ahead of time.

If anyone would be willing to help, I’d sincerely appreciate it.

Clear Skies!
