Rolls-Royce Engineering Graduate Programmer interview questions

I applied online for the position of Engineering Graduate Programme. Afterwards I had to take some online tests: behavioural and other IQ tests. After a month they sent me an email inviting me for an assessment centre in Berlin. At this assessment Centre there was an initial personal interview with common questions to know about yourself and how much you know about the company. Then, the 10 candidates were split in 2 groups to partecipate in a group competition were you had to build a structure capable of displacing 2 marbles from one side to the other of the table. The materials provided were: paper, string and plastic cups. Time limit: 45' Finally, a technical interview were they asked me about fatigue and heat transfer.

Initially I completed an online application form, followed by numerical and verbal reasoning tests. After successfully passing these tests I was invited to an assessment centre in Derby. The assessment centre was made up on a presentation about a given topic, a group exercise, a competency interview and a technical interview.
