Allison Atkinson is a technical and academic writer, leveraging her Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering and Master of Arts in English.
"While my Mechanical Engineering degree has taught me problem-solving skills and the general idea of how mechanical systems work together, I also have a community college certificate in Automation Controls. This program specifically focused on Programmable Logic Controllers and Electrical Circuits at a level of hands-on detail that was less common in my more theory-focused engineering program. With this knowledge, I know I'll be able to actually troubleshoot the PLCs and keep the plant up and running. It will also improve my ability to communicate with operators, since we'll be speaking the same language."

This question gives you the opportunity to share any specific knowledge you might have and to find out more details about the specifics of the technical work you will be doing. The example answers are for a civil engineer applying for a structural engineering position and a mechanical engineer applying to a material handling engineering position.

"In undergrad, I took Concrete I and II, Pre-stressed Concrete Design, and Steel I and II. In Concrete I and II, we did column design, beam design, and both one-way and two-way slab design. In Pre-stressed Concrete, we looked briefly at both pre-tensioned and post-tensioned members. The class was part design and part analysis; there was some design for flexure, both working strength and Allowable Stress Design, and also design for shear and torsion. Since this position is for a structural engineer that specializes in concrete, can you tell me more about the types of projects I will be working on?"
