Assessing Your Engineering Intuition: The Situational Judgement Test

Engineering is about more than just getting the math right; it is about making high-stakes decisions in complex, real-world environments. Our Situational Judgement Test (SJT) is designed to bridge the gap between technical theory and professional practice.

In this assessment, you will be presented with a series of authentic workplace scenarios—ranging from ethical dilemmas in project management to critical troubleshooting on a job site. Unlike a standard technical exam, there isn't always a "perfect" formula to follow. Instead, you will evaluate various courses of action, helping us understand how you:

  • Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Navigate the pressure of deadlines without compromising integrity.

  • Communicate with Stakeholders: Translate complex technical data into actionable insights for diverse teams.

  • Solve Problems Holistically: Consider the long-term impact of your technical choices on the environment and the community.

What to Expect

Each question describes a realistic challenge you might face as a professional engineer. You will be asked to rank potential responses based on their effectiveness or select the "Most" and "Least" appropriate actions.

Refine your professional judgment and see how you measure up against the standards of the modern engineering industry.
