I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at GE Aerospace (Grand Rapids, MI) in Nov 2009
Interview
The interview consisted of one introductory presentation to a panel of five followed by 5 separate interview with the same individuals. The panel consisted mostly of senior engineers and managers. The interview was 100% behavioral base.
If you want to highlight your engineering skills try to say as much as you can about the projects you were involved in school in a 5 min presentation.

I applied through university. I interviewed at GE Aerospace in Dec 2018
Interview
Basic Technical questions, mostly related to Mtech thesis and projects done in your academic career. The questions test your understanding as an engineer and does not test your memory. So no fact questions
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at GE Aerospace (Cincinnati, OH) in Oct 2018
Interview
Interview with 5-6 different people, mostly behavioral and project based questions. The people were very nice and gave you plenty of time to answer and ask questions. There is a team exercise at the end that allows them to see how well you work in a team, and how you think about a given problem.

Question 1
a time when I tried to learn something new because I wanted to, not because I had to?
It was a half day event of a 8 minute presentation to a panel, followed by 4 or 5 round robin style individual interviews. These were with a mix of HR and engineers.
