For this prompt, I interviewed Luis Martins, a mechanical engineer that works for Owens Corning, a company that manufactures fiberglass. Luis works as the vice president of global operations. The first thing I asked him about was the writing that he needs to do for his job. He explained that he usually has to create many excel spreadsheets with data about the performance of the company. He also has to create power point presentations using this data. He later shows the power points to his team where they decide what to do in the future based on the company's results or any unpredicted events. I later asked him about common misconceptions of the engineering fields. He described to me that a lot of people assume engineers are introverts and keep to themselves, but this is wrong. According to him, communication is essential for any engineering field, and being able to work well in a team is extremely important.
