Show the interviewer that you can connect academic theory to practice and that you are familiar with the general academic disciplines that are used in the material handling industry. For a strong answer, tell the interviewer about an applicable class you had or a group project you worked on.

"As you can see from my resume, my degree is in Mechanical Engineering, which is a pretty broad field. While I didn't learn specifically about material handling and warehousing equipment, I did take a class called Design for Manufacturing and an elective class called Systems Engineering. In Design for Manufacturing, I worked with a group to design a roller, which as I understand from your website is part of a conveyor. In Systems Engineering, I learned about how complex projects are developed from the design stage, through production, to management after the system is in place. I look forward to applying the general principles from these classes as I learn about the overall systems and individual pieces that make up the material handling industry."
