I'm having an interview for a internship in Civil engineering for the department of transportation. What are sample questions that the interviewer may ask me? What should I ask him/her?
Any other advise will help greatly, this is my first real interview for any job.

They are going to ask you to tell them about yourself. If you go in reciting your educational history, their eyes are going to glaze over. What you need to do is tell how your experiences are tied to the position.
Being a DOT, a technical question that they may ask is what factors need to be considered in designing a highway (do not forget to mention environmental). They could ask what factors affect traffic flow. They could pose a construction situation to you (remember: safety is the highest priority).
They will end by asking you if you have anything to add. Have something prepared to say. Tell them how you look forward to the challenges. Do not end the interview on a low by having nothing to say.

at first, in the event that they talked approximately as you in for an interview, they probable have concepts approximately how they might make the main of your historic past. what variety of Civil business enterprise is it? steel and composites and their use in roadways, dams, and homes are evoked. Civils tend to think of of them as having fixed residences, yet Mat'l Engs might have a extra sophisicated awareness of ways refining, processing, storage, getting old, and environmental circumstances all result components residences. Or they may well be a extra examine/progression oriented business enterprise it is finding at extra reducing ingredient techniques or are attempting to develop new products. Then the Mat'l Eng has obvious enter on decision and processing of fabric of shape. many times, it bodes nicely of a artwork place, i think of, while they provide the impact of being to hold in different professionals. It shows they comprehend that they don't be attentive to each and all of the solutions (no person does) and that they're going to cost diverse enter and perspective which you will grant.

Most interview questions will be similar, unless they ask you a technical question directly about something you should have learned.
I found this:

to be a good resource.
Also, every interview I had, they asked something to the effect of "What is one of your flaws?". Be prepared to answer things like that.

They can ask anything they want. They may ask you what you want to do and they may ask you technical questions. They'll probably ask you if you have any questions. When I was interviewing for a permanent job, I had one guy from Bell Labs tell me " You have 50 minutes. Tell me about yourself."
