Employers ask this question to learn more about your specialty and what unique skills you can bring to their company.

Talk about internships and specific projects that you've worked on in the past or want to focus on in the future. Emphasize your strengths and use terms related to your specialty to establish credibility and impress the interviewer.

"Although I have hands-on work experience, certifications, and academic training in all disciplines related to electrical engineering, my specialty is in power electronics and microelectronics. In my past position, I had a chance to explore new types of solar-powered 'smart nano-grids' and 'smart meters' that can generate affordable energy off the electrical grid and during mass power outages. I'd like to take the things I've learned and apply them to projects in a new role."
