Aerospace Engineer Interview Questions

402 aerospace engineer interview questions shared by candidates

1.) Describe any educational, professional, or other relevant experiences that have prepared you for an engineering internship full time opportunity with the Boeing opportunity. 1.1) High level overview of curriculum that has been repair based for aircraft. 2.) Please tell us why you chose your major and why you are interested in a full-time opportunity with Boeing. 3.) Decision making: Describe a time when you had to make compromises in order to accomplish a team objective. What was the end result? 4.) Please describe a situation where you analyzed information or data. what analysis did you perform and what conclusions did you draw? 5.1) Explain what the shear and moment distribution diagrams would look like for a cantilever beam with something sitting at the end. 5.2) What do you recall about your statics class and what are some of the things that you learned? How do you imagine that statics applies to the structural analysis of aircraft? 5.3) What is strain? What does the stress-strain curve look like for metals? How would you determine the Young's modulus for this material from the curve? 5.4) Got the cross section of a cantilever beam, where in the cross section are the stresses maximum (tension, shear, bending)? If you have a moment on a section, how would you calculate the stress of that section from the moment? 5.5) If you have a rod, and you pull on the rod with an axial load, can you tell me how to calculate that axial stress at that cross section? And then what about the shear stress? 5.6) Could you tell us on that cross section where the moment stress would be the highest on the cross section? 5.7) What about for a straight axial load, where would that stress be maximum on the cross section? 5.8) Where would the shear stress be maximum on the cross section? 5.9) Do you know what a factor of safety is? What is the equation for it? What is the physical significance of it? How about margin of safety?
