Q. Provide an example of tolerance stack up.
Ans. 

Tolerance stack up refers to the accumulation of variations in dimensions and tolerances of individual parts in an assembly.

  • Tolerance stack up can lead to issues such as interference or gaps between parts in an assembly.

  • It is important to consider both the nominal dimensions and the tolerances of each part when designing an assembly.

  • An example of tolerance stack up is when the cumulative variation in the thickness...

A Design Engineer was asked 12mo ago
Q. Draw the Bending Moment Diagram for a simply supported beam.
Ans. 

BMD for a simply supported beam is a graphical representation of the bending moment along the length of the beam.

  • BMD starts from zero at the supports and peaks at the center of the beam.

  • The shape of the BMD depends on the type of load and support conditions.

  • For a uniformly distributed load on a simply supported beam, the BMD will be a parabolic curve.

  • The BMD can be drawn by calculating the reactions at the support...

A Design Engineer was asked 12mo ago
Q. What is column buckling?
Ans. 

Buckling of column is a phenomenon where a slender column fails due to compressive stress exceeding its critical load.

  • Buckling occurs when a column is subjected to an axial load, causing it to bend and deform laterally.

  • The critical load at which buckling occurs depends on the column's material properties, length, and cross-sectional area.

  • Buckling can lead to sudden and catastrophic failure of the column.

  • Examples o...

A Design Engineer was asked 12mo ago
Q. What is a Mohr's circle diagram?
Ans. 

Mohr circle diagram is a graphical representation of stress transformation in materials.

  • It is used in engineering to analyze stress states and predict material failure.

  • The diagram shows the relationship between normal and shear stresses on different planes within a material.

  • It helps engineers determine the maximum and minimum principal stresses, as well as the orientation of the planes on which they act.

A Senior Data Scientist was asked 12mo ago
Q. How do you determine the accuracy metric of your algorithm?
Ans. 

Accuracy metric is determined by comparing the predicted values with the actual values.

  • Calculate the number of correct predictions made by the algorithm

  • Divide the number of correct predictions by the total number of predictions made

  • Multiply the result by 100 to get the accuracy percentage

  • For example, if the algorithm made 80 correct predictions out of 100, the accuracy would be 80%

A Design Engineer was asked
Q. Explain GD&T symbols and their significance.
Ans. 

GD&T symbol stands for Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing, used to define the nominal geometry of parts and specify allowable variations.

  • GD&T symbols are used to communicate design intent and control the manufacturing process

  • They include symbols for features like flatness, perpendicularity, concentricity, etc.

  • GD&T helps improve quality, reduce costs, and ensure parts are manufactured correctly

  • It allows for mor...

Why are women still asked such personal questions in interview?
I recently went for an interview… and honestly, m still trying to process what just happened. Instead of being asked about my skills, experience, or how I could add value to the company… the questions took a totally unexpected turn. The interviewer started asking things like When are you getting married? Are you engaged? And m sure, if I had said I was married, the next question would’ve been How long have you been married? What does my personal life have to do with the job m applying for? This is where I felt the gender discrimination hit hard. These types of questions are so casually thrown at women during interviews but are they ever asked to men? No one asks male candidates if they’re planning a wedding or how old their kids are. So why is it okay to ask women? Can we please stop normalising this kind of behaviour in interviews? Our careers shouldn’t be judged by our relationship status. Period.
