I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Cummins in Sept 2013
Interview
The first round interview is with an alumni from your school. The interview is a strictly behavioral interview. They ask typical questions, like what did you do in such and such situation.
The second interview is a purely technical interview, focused on automotive design. The interview goes through experiences in design, lessons learned form those experiences, and then specific questions about how you would go about designing specific parts.

Simple process with a few technical questions and then a couple presentations, one about yourself and another topic of your choice preferably on engineering project that you have done or are interested in.
