Focus on the real-world applications of your education. If you had classroom projects that are tied to real engineering solutions, use them. If you had any type of case studies class, this is usually a good example to use. If you have had work experience and/or past internships, this is an opportunity to talk specifically about what you learned in the classroom that helped you in your work assignments.

"Several of my advanced engineering and math courses tied directly into the work I've been doing on the job. For example, my engineering statistics class tied in directly into my current capstone project, as we were analyzing user data and seeking to improve manufacturing processes to speed production while increasing quality assurance."
