Assignment: Conduct a professional interview with a person who is involved in the engineering field of your interest, then present your findings to your corresponding class, professionally.
What I Learned: Regarding the interview itself, it did really show me the importance of utilizing social skills, and how it can be substantially critical in the real world. For the project, I was able to build upon the knowledge that I attained through the Engineering Fields project, as I was exposed to the duties and real-life schedule of an authentic Mechanical Engineer. In addition to this, my interviewee shared certain tips and advice in order to be successful as a future aspiring engineer, such as starting early with internships and possibly diversifying them.
Improvements: During the presentation of the Interview Project, I definitely should've practiced more prior to the presentation date, as I ended up speaking with a lack of confidence and articulation, which did cost me points. Personally, I believe that this is a major improvement to be made, as it is salient to develop strong presentation skills in the future, especially in work environments.
