What the assessment measures

Engineering career explorer for middle school students. Exploration without a map is wandering. The assessment gives you the map — trait profile, impact profile, top families, top careers, and the ordinary day of each. Engineering rewards practicality about what works in the real world, spatial reasoning about objects and forces, and collaboration inside large teams on hard deadlines. Middle school is when interest in STEM is decided, usually by whether the subject ever got connected to a person a student could become.
