Civil Engineer Interview Questions

If you recognized a design flaw on a project once submitted to the client that was not caught by the company or the client, was constructed, and ultimately caused an accident, would you bring it to the attention of senior management?

All of the interview questions were pretty standard, but I had some questions after my presentation that were technical (in regards to my topic) that made me a little flustered.

Do you know AutoCAD?

A series of Civil 3D tasks were given.

What was your favorite class outside of Engineering?

They seemed most interested in my international experience and why I decided to become a civil engineer in the first place. The interview itself was definitely more of a discussion and the folks in the room seemed to really want to get to know me and see if I would fit in within their team.

How would you rate your team working skill?

As my research was on USDOT specifications, they asked me specifically about OHIO.
