It was a good way for me to be able to showcase my skills and allow for further discussion.

I did have to promise not to say what the interview questions were, so I won't "directly" say what I was asked. But just google sample structured interview/STAR questions. You pretty much can find lists of questions that will be asked. Basically, think about a) what experiences prepped you for the position, b) what work have you done relating to the position (problem solving, CAD, weight/cost analysis), c) how you have been able to work in groups and manage others' skills/issues...etc. Just look sample questions up online and you'll find them :p
