I think a healthy mix of open-ended questions (such as those in your post) and closed-ended questions is key. Open-ended questions are useful for getting at how an engineer goes about solving a problem. Closed-ended questions reveal whether that engineer has the tools to solve the problem to begin with.

Interesting thoughts. What would you think of as a good closed ended question? I always worry that if I'm to specific I'll get false negatives (do they really not know what protected means or have they had a brain fade under pressure?)
