Practice prompts based on occupational tasks
These Applyace practice prompts use O*NET tasks for electro-mechanical and mechatronics technologists and technicians. They are not reported employer questions. If you have not done a task, explain your approach and learning needs instead of inventing experience.
1. Test performance of electromechanical assemblies, using test instruments such as oscilloscopes, electronic voltmeters, or bridges.
Describe a real example of this task. What was your responsibility, and what happened?
2. Install or program computer hardware or machine or instrumentation software in microprocessor-based systems.
How did you decide which approach or tools to use? Explain the tradeoffs.
3. Read blueprints, schematics, diagrams, or technical orders to determine methods and sequences of assembly.
What could go wrong during this task? Describe how you would check your work.
4. Modify, maintain, or repair electrical, electronic, or mechanical components, equipment, or systems to ensure proper functioning.
Explain a time you coordinated this work with someone else. How did you communicate?
5. Inspect parts for surface defects.
How would you handle an unfamiliar part of this task? Identify what you would need to learn.
6. Install electrical or electronic parts and hardware in housings or assemblies, using soldering equipment and hand tools.
