NPCs

Throughout the Game World there are many NPCs for the player to interact with. There are two main categories of non-playing characters (NPCs), these are: Undergraduate Engineering Students, and Graduates. The player has slightly different interaction options with the different NPCs, and can converse with them using pre-set questions that have dialogue from real women in engineering. The questions not only different between categories of NPCs but also between different NPCs within each category.

The player is able to ask NPCs the same question as many times as they wish, and can choose to interact with as many and as few NPCs as they desire. Interacting with more NPCs will contribute to the player's achievements list. Though the interaction with the NPCs are pre-set, the dialogue from these NPCs are quoted directly from women who have gone through engineering themselves so can provide a personal and insightful view into engineering. Furthermore, the questions presented allow the player to experience similar conversations as those at networking events. These virtual conversations provide good practice for approaching and networking with different people in the real world.

Undergraduate Students

The player is able to ask Undergraduate students the following questions:

1. Why did you choose engineering?
2. What were your biggest concerns coming into it?
3. Any advice?

Graduates (Engineers in Industry/Academia)

The player is able to ask graduate engineers, either Women in Industry or in Academia the following questions:

1. Why did you choose your specialization?
2. What is the most useful skill you have learnt throughout your degree and industry experience?
3. What has surprised you most about this degree?
4. In retrospect, is there anything you wish you knew before you went into engineering?
5. Any advice?
