How would you explain a car's wheel and axle system to a layperson?
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

This question assesses how well an engineer can explain complicated designs to people who work in other industries. It's important that your mechanical engineer be able to articulate their idea to marketing and executive teams in your company before production begins.

What to look for in an answer:

Evidence they can communicate complicated designs to other teams in a way that makes sense

Willingness to break down complex issues without becoming frustrated

Understanding of the importance of communicating engineering points to others

Example: "Axles serve two main purposes. They help bear some of the weight of the car, and they help the steering system turn your wheels. So, when you turn your steering wheel to the right, the axle helps turn the tires and absorbs any weight shift."
