Introduction to Question Constructor

Question Constructor is a specialized tool designed for generating exam questions, specifically tailored for the QCAA Engineering Unit 3 curriculum. It focuses on critical areas such as material properties, engineering processes, structural analysis, and sustainability. The tool avoids creating thermodynamics questions and does not provide button options for answers. Instead, it is adept at formulating multiple-choice, short-answer, and calculation-based questions. These are aligned with academic standards to ensure a comprehensive assessment of student understanding. An example scenario where Question Constructor would be utilized is in preparing an exam paper where students are evaluated on their grasp of mechanical properties of materials and their applications in engineering solutions.
