In the Spring of 2007, the Honors section of ENGR 112 was assigned the task of interviewing a practicing engineer. The purpose of the interview was for the interviewee to tell us about their career as an engineer and give the interviewer some idea about what they could expect during their career. A few general topics were suggested to the interviewers but otherwise there were no restrictions as to who was to be interviewed and the topics to be covered. Certain students chose to have their work posted on the STEPS Project Web site; links to these interviews are below.
