About Engineering on DigiTransact Mastermind
Statics, materials, thermodynamics, fluids, and engineering design and ethics for university students.
Each of the 8 Engineering skills carries its own SmartScore from 0 to 100, so progress is measured per topic rather than as one overall grade.
All 52 Engineering questions come with the written reasoning behind the answer, so a wrong attempt still teaches the method.
Engineering work is filed under University, so you only see sets that match the stage you are studying.

Relevant curricula and exams
Based on the education levels this subject covers on the platform.
Curriculum notes are a general guide to where this work normally sits. Always check the syllabus your school or examination body is currently using.
Learning outcomes
After working through the Engineering practice sets you should be able to:
- Statics & Forces: Equilibrium, free-body diagrams, moments and simple structures.
- Thermodynamics Basics: Energy, heat, work and the laws of thermodynamics.
- The Engineering Design Process: Problem definition, ideation, prototyping, testing and iteration.
- Electrical Circuits & Power: Apply Ohm’s law, series/parallel circuits and electrical power calculations.
Sample questions
Real questions taken from the Engineering question bank, shown with the working learners see after answering.
Ohm’s law states that V equals:
- I ÷ R
- I × R
- R ÷ I
- I² × R
Working: Voltage = current × resistance (V = IR) for an ohmic conductor.
The first step of the engineering design process is to
- define the problem and requirements
- build a prototype
- sell the product
- choose materials
Working: A clear problem statement with constraints and criteria guides every later decision.
A body is in static equilibrium when
- the resultant force and resultant moment on it are both zero
- it moves at constant acceleration
- only gravity acts on it
- its mass is zero
Working: Equilibrium requires the sum of forces and the sum of moments about any point to be zero.

Frequently asked questions
What stage of school does Engineering suit?
Engineering currently covers University. Every skill carries its own level tag, so you can start at the stage you are studying and move up once the earlier work is secure.
How is Engineering organised here?
The Engineering bank is grouped into 4 groups such as Engineering Fundamentals, Energy & Fluid Systems, Design & Professional Practice and Electrical & Civil Engineering Basics, and every group breaks down further into separate skills.
How many Engineering questions are there?
The bank holds 52 Engineering questions spread over 8 skills, each one paired with the reasoning behind the correct answer.
Can I revise for tertiary coursework with this?
The Engineering skills are grouped by the levels sat for tertiary coursework, and they are labelled Tertiary foundation coursework. Filter by level to focus on the stage you are being examined on.
Can I read Engineering pages without signing in?
No account is needed to read a Engineering skill page. Create a free one when you want progress kept between visits rather than starting again each time.
