Teradici Associate Engineer interview questions

I met the Director of Software Engineering, Paul Pavlik, at my school's career fair where I talked with him and conveyed my interest and enthusiasm towards different aspects of software engineering such as Agile development. After we had talked, I gave him a resume and a week later, I was given an interview. The interview process was fairly standard and consisted of two senior programmers and myself in a spacious and well-lit room. I was first asked to give a brief description about myself and why I decided to pursue a career in software engineering. I was later told that this question was asked to relax and get rid of any nervousness felt by the interviewee (which I appreciated). After the introductions, I was given two brain teasers. After a small hint, I was able to solve the first one and I easily solved the second brain teaser by using that same hint. I later learned that this is what the interviewers were looking for - identifying similarities between problems and using the same approach that worked on one problem, on a different problem. I was then asked a programming question ("write a program that reverses a c-style string") which I did fairly well in. Initially, I had several errors in my code but luckily, I was given a chance to look over my code to catch these errors without any help. Finally, I was asked to talk about one of my school projects and some of the design choices I had made.

Since I was part of the Engineering Co-op program in my university, the application process was pretty much constrained to submitting a Cover Letter and Resume through the program. As for the interview itself, when I first got to the office I was greeted by the lady at the front desk, then she offered me something to drink while we waited for my interviewer. When my interviewer arrived, we then moved to a meeting room (Just the two of us), then he introduced himself and what he does, then he asked me to introduce and tell him about myself as well. After the introductions, he asked me about some of the projects that I worked on since I had quite a few listed on my resume. He seemed very interested in what I have done in said projects and that actually helped me relax during the rest of the interview. Then we moved to some technical questions. Questions included some software related stuff (in my case it was about a sorting algorithm), then we moved on to hardware questions. All the hardware related questions were about transistors, their operation, etc...
