Practice prompts based on occupational tasks
These Applyace practice prompts use O*NET tasks for aerospace engineers. They are not reported employer questions. If you have not done a task, explain your approach and learning needs instead of inventing experience.
1. Formulate conceptual design of aeronautical or aerospace products or systems to meet customer requirements or conform to environmental regulations.
Describe a real example of this task. What was your responsibility, and what happened?
2. Evaluate product data or design from inspections or reports for conformance to engineering principles, customer requirements, environmental regulations, or quality standards.
How did you decide which approach or tools to use? Explain the tradeoffs.
3. Direct or coordinate activities of engineering or technical personnel involved in designing, fabricating, modifying, or testing of aircraft or aerospace products.
What could go wrong during this task? Describe how you would check your work.
4. Plan or conduct experimental, environmental, operational, or stress tests on models or prototypes of aircraft or aerospace systems or equipment.
Explain a time you coordinated this work with someone else. How did you communicate?
5. Diagnose performance problems by reviewing reports or documentation from customers or field engineers or by inspecting malfunctioning or damaged products.
How would you handle an unfamiliar part of this task? Identify what you would need to learn.
6. Formulate mathematical models or other methods of computer analysis to develop, evaluate, or modify design, according to customer engineering requirements.
