Once you have developed the background let others contribute. Once you get an opportunity just put forward your points and then try to come up to a common consensus.

No question was asked from me though as I made sure my internship projects displayed the knowledge I had in different subjects ranging from design and development to material selection. The interviewer was very calm and excited to know things out of me.
