Interviewed May 2008 in Wilmington, CA (took a day)
The interview occurred at my school, and I received an offer a couple days later. I was only asked one technical question, which I did not get correct. We mostly discussed my prior engineering experience and class projects that pertained to the position. I was told very little about the job and in fact did not really know what I would be doing until I got there, but it was a relatively easy process.

Interviewed Mar 2009 in Corpus Christi, TX (took a day)
I was contacted by student services at my university telling me that Valero was interested in interviewing me for a possible internship over the summer and a possible job offer. They gave me a week to prepare for the interview, and it consisted of 2 senior engineers, one which worked closely with human resources and did the actual hiring. Questions pertain closely to demonstrating examples of past job experiences that led to success through creativity. They want details and observe body language and level of motivation. They made it that apparent, although I'd say this is very much likely an interview tailored towards students with no prior experience in the engineering field.
