I can see you reading your notes

lol, i know a lot of engineers, and noone will say "the critical faillure mode ..." that is just pretentious

Me: I'm a failure as an engineer Me dealing with other engineers: Nevermind 👀

Here's a thought: Ask them directly😑

CAD is for drafters. Engineers should be engineering and designing.

Doing a PhD in MechE. Don’t think I’ve used CAD in literal years

im not an engineer but this sounds like a school problem ? is school output terrible ?

You can teach anyone to use cad, harder to teach people how to think of solutions

Because it’s assumed now. You should know this more than anyone if you are that experienced at interviewing engineers. CAD is in the same level as excel for all MECH engineers that graduated in the last 15yrs. Everyone is fluent in it

Circus Trumpy :
I agree with your point that CAD is procedural while engineering judgment is contextual. CAD can be taught because it’s a tool—most people can become competent with practice. Engineering judgment, on the other hand, is about making sound decisions when the “right” answer isn’t obvious, which is much harder to develop, especially in a short onboarding period. That said, I think interviews are a relatively low-signal environment for assessing something as contextual and experience-driven as engineering judgment. Time pressure, communication style, and even how a question is interpreted can all distort what we’re actually trying to measure. In some cases, we may end up selecting for people who explain their thinking well, rather than those who consistently apply strong judgment in real-world situations.

engineering school is so different now than when I went. we had a couple design courses but the majority of my ME curriculum was based in mathematical modeling. fluid, linear, nonlinear, vibration, and heat transfer. almost all my professors worked for the air force or NASA. this was all before CAD.

I love this. I’m an older student and getting ready to enter the engineering field. I think the way you stated

This doesn’t just apply to engineering. People that are naturally curious and intelligent will always understand the first principles in the solution they are building.

I think most people are missing her point. She is looking for reasoning of the solution not the details of the design. Ie top level concept not the 1’s and 0’s. I think 😁

Uncle Chubbs :
I wish engineers thought this way. As an engineer, I wished they thought in a a way that, "hey, I may have to work on this later". The ones I've been around didn't care about what the mechanics had to go through fix the problem no matter how difficult they made it be.

STAR (situation, tasks, action, result) is a typical way to structure interview responses

not an Engineer but, I have lots of machining background and some NIMS certs. thats allowed me to understand how things work and how to design parts with purpose.

I call them geometric constraint engineers.

Worked for a firm years ago and I asked my E&I leader about getting CAD, he’s answer to me was “we have people to do CAD”, I didn’t hire you to do that, you do controls/programming.
