Group Assessments

Hi all,

For the first time ever, I am putting together an assessment day for our student placement schemes.

We will be recruiting undergraduates into our Aerodynamics department and I am seeking some inspiration of how to create a relevant group assessment that achieves all desired outcomes and observations. 

If you know of any relevant websites or literature I would be most grateful!

They will also take part in technical interviews, competency interviews and complete a technical assessment on the day.

Thank you

  • Although not in the aerodynamic category, a company I worked for did a group exercise providing candidates with some old newspapers, sellotape and other items and they had to create a structure that could not only stand but hold plastic cups of water. They used this activity to assess different personalities e.g.assertiveness, natural leaders and also how well people collaborated in a group task. Perhaps you could create a similar activity but relevant to your particular industry
