Interviewed Sep 2010 in Raleigh, NC (took 1 week)
To be a qualified candidate, a solid academic background is necessary. Fully experience in coastal engineering is required, such as wave theory, model simulation, GIS techniques, and programming proficiency. In addition, sufficient project experience and publications will be helpful. At last, be prepared with some behavior questions and group collaborations.

It was very pleasing process. They talked me about the interest, benefit, and things that both they and you would be interested in. It'd be great place to stay if I decide to develop in academia now...will come back later...
