Default Anyone Work in the Engineering Field?

So long story short, one of the graduation requirements at my school is to do a bunch of different tasks for a culminating project which all ties into a final presentation our senior year.

One of the tasks is that we do a job shadow of someone who works in the career path we are interested in. As you can guess from the title, I'm interested in the Engineering field.

For​​​​​​ the job shadow, we can either come in and spend a few hours with the person or do a interview (which can be over the phone, email, etc.) and just ask questions and discuss different aspects of the job.

So with that said, would anyone be willing to do a interview with me about their job and answer some questions?

Thanks in advance.

PM me and let me know a little more of what you are looking for. I worked for Boeing for 35 years and have a few contacts. It may be tough to get a job shadow but should be able to get you a phone or in person interview.

Ken helped me link up with a buddy of his to do the job shadow, but thank you for the offer. I appreciate it!

I was looking for someone preferably in the mechanical or aerospace engineering field as that's what I most likely want to go into after college. Luckily, Ken had contacts at Boeing so it worked out pretty nicely.
