Interview with no questions asked

I recently had an interview for an engineering co-op / internship position. During the interview we talked about the company, the job, safety, the product made, the future of the company and a bunch of other things (all related to the company or job), but not once was I asked a question, nor did the interviewers take any notes (they were both engineers).

My question is this - how do you handle an interview like this? I even asked during the interview if they had any questions for me. To which they responded - “Well I can see all your experience here, what you have is pretty standard for an engineering student”. So I did try. I just feel like we talked more about the company than about me and what I bring to the table.

I guess that could mean one of two things, either they wanted to hire me before they interviewed me, and just wanted to check me out, or they had no intention of hiring me and it was just a courtesy interview.
