I was given an assignment last week to interview someone currently in the career field that I am pursuing. That would be Mechanical Engineering.

I emailed both EBR and Motus, but haven't gotten any responses. Not really surprised at the lack of a response, but I am a bit disappointed. It would have been pretty sweet to get some firsthand insight from the people working my dream job! Still keeping my fingers crossed for a last minute response, but the assignment is due in a week so I'd better get started..

Anyway, if someone here could be so kind as to complete this survey for me, I'd appreciate it. I wish I didn't have to include the salary question, but I do. If you want to copy/paste the questions and respond via a PM, that will work just fine.

Thanks in advance!

PS, Court.. any chance of still getting a response from someone at EBR? I'm sure they're super busy with work on RS production, AX/RX/SX development, race team testing/planning, etc. but hey - I can dream, right?

Thank you very much to those who replied. Plenty of information with which to start work on my essay, in addition to gaining a little more insight on how to prepare for a ME career.

You guys are awesome.
