Before your interview, read the job description to determine what type of technology is required for the position. Many software programs, such as AutoCAD Civil 3D or the structural program RISA-3D, have tutorials online either on the program website or through YouTube or blogs. This question gives you the opportunity to show the interviewer that you keep your skills up to date on your own. It also gives you the opportunity to ask about company training. The example answer is for a civil engineer applying to work at a land development company.

"I've found that I can pick up a lot just by using Civil 3D every day. However, it can be easy to get into a routine, so I make it a point to do a tutorial or watch a YouTube video on something related to what I am working on at least once per week. That keeps my mind fresh and it keeps me aware of new skills that I can add to my toolbox. Does your company do any type of regular training or lunch and learns?"
