This is a fantastic and fun pre and post assessment on engineering careers. By targeting your questions, you will find out if students have learned about the different engineering career choices available. In this game, you may find that there is more than one answer to several questions. Depending on the level of your students, you can either ask them to choose the "best" answer or play a less structured game and let them choose any answer that may be correct. Feel free to add or substitute your own questions to tailor the game to fit your needs. Have fun and don't forget to give away fabulous prizes!
