I have an interview on friday morning at a engineering company for a position (entry-level engineer) I've been to a few interviews before but I am never sure what questions I should ask at the end, to make me stand out, etc.

Anyone in the engineering field or maybe those of you who have been the interviewer can give me some direction on what questions to ask?
Thanks.
 
I've learned a lot from my dad who is working in a management position at a hospital who interviews tons of people. When in the interview, even if it feels akward, brag about yourself. Let them know everything about you that is pertinent to the job. If you worked at McDonalds, mention it and say it helped you develop teamwork skills. If you're an Eagle Scout, brag about it and tell them about the whole experience and how getting Eagle made you a better person. You get the picture.
 
How much do I get paid?
What is the policy regarding sexual harassment?
What are the ramifications of coming in late and leaving early?
Is there time to nef on ATOT?
Am I required to know how to use Google?


What is a typical day like?
What is the work environment, team work or individual projects?
What kind of support will I have on the job?
What kind of development is available to increase my value to the company?
How varied are the tasks I'll perform?
What are examples of previous projects completed?
What kind of opportunities for growth are there?
Can I move around in the company?
What does the interviewer find unique about the company?

I personally avoid the HR questions, you can wait to find those out after the offer you the job. It's not like you're going to walk out of the interview once they tell you the dress code is suit and tie.

They like running an interview as much as you like going to one.
 
ask what the typical career path is for your position. ask them where you can expect to be (within the company, of course) in five years. it might help convey you're genuinely interested in the company and can see yourself working there for the long run.
 
ask them about how the work environment is.
ask them how the typical work hours go.
ask them what the dress code is.
ask them what their policies on taking personal days or time off is.

that's the time I usually just asked a lot of down to earth questions so they could get more of my personality and get to know me more instead of acting like I was scared to ask questions and what not.
 
ask them if they have any nice looking girls working there? also you might wanna ask them if alcoholic beverages are allowed in the premises.
