Ideas for a Engineers test

I've been asked to develop the Engineer's test this year and I am looking for any input that I might be able to apply to the test this year. In the past our Engineer's test consist of a driving portion, where we would state an address and the driver would take us to the address for about eight address's or so. The last address would be at our drill tower where a pumping scenario would be set up. The engineer would start with a deck gun knock down (simulating a transitional attack, knocking down cones set up on the drill tower), establish a water supply, charge a speedlay, charge a standpipe, charge a master stream of some sort, and the pumping portion of the drill would be complete. The last part of the test is a equipment knowledge test where we would ask the location of a certain tool and the driver would walk to the right compartment and locate the tool. I am looking for any ideas that have worked well in your department. Thanks

75 to 100 question multiple guess on your SOPs, apparatus that your D/O will operate, quick pump operator questions dealing with; apparatus placement, friction loss, residual pressure, relay pumping and water supply. Anything that has tripped you up in the past or the Officers have commented on.

If D/Os step up to right seat get some kind of fire sim or pictures that you can add effects to so that you can judge their ability to size up and attack a bread and butter house fire.

Dispatch them to a draft site and set up a draft operation with a whatever hose pull you think you would use. Make sure that they know the EP for the lay. Set up to pull either a couple of cross-lays or a master stream that you know the porta -tank can’t support. Check communications with the IC and hose crews. See what they do with it. If it's something that you do (relay pumping, supporting an auto extrication, Draft/fill site engine, etc), you should test for it.

If you want something specific, I can try to get you a copy of our D/O test, however, I’m not a big fan of it.

Let me know,
Larry

如何提出一个场景，在那里你有两辆卡车，不匹配，它们会拿出一个拟合，这将使它们在一起工作，可能需要三个或四个配件。在我的测试上，我必须将一个县的油轮连接到我们的一个部门发动机（4英寸的排放/快速填充到6“摄入量），油轮在其排放中的雄性发动机，我们的发动机有一个男性摄入讲师出于轻松的配件，所以我们必须使用剩余的东西。我使用了2.5倍4“减速机，2.5x2.5门控Wye，2，2.5硬吸水软管，第二个门控Wye，第二个2.5x 4”减速器和4x6“减速机。这是一个非常艰难的任务。让他们发明东西。
