Engineers are responsible for designing and building products. In an interview context, expect to be quizzed on your technical skills, and also evaluated for your ability to work as a part of a team to get things built. The specific questions you are asked will depend on what type of engineering position you are looking for such as a specific engineering discipline like software engineer, electrical engineer, or mechanical engineer.
Easier questions 1) Two variations of a program exist, A and B. When run on machine 1, A runs twice as fast as B. When run on machine 2, A runs 10x as fast as B. How would you investigate this? -same datasets -same versions of OS and libraries -same hardware 2) Had to code a method that calculated the factorial, first simply, then a second one recursively.
Given a set of shapes in 2D space, and a coordinate pair, write a routine that returns true if any of the shapes overlap the coordinate pair.
Given a set of integers find if two elements sum to a given value.
Find the optimal map route between two points on a grid (maze) with some areas blocked out.
reverse a sentence such that the ordering of words is reversed but the words aren't changed
Describe the difference between TCP and UDP
Find the intersection of two integer lists
Get the two highest number in a binary search tree
Find the shortest path between two words (like "cat" and "dog), changing only one letter at a time.
I spent much time for answering a question. Q : In a grid, if points, which refer locations of people, are given, which point in the grid will be the best point to meet together that the sum of distances from each position to the point is shortest. Distance between two points p1 and p2 is |p1_x-p2_x| + |p1_y-p2_y|.
