Dear guests, members, professionals and students,

Our advice platform offers help in any construction and civil engineering queries and we are dedicated to provide you with a free of charge service. For administrative purpose and depending on the effort to provide adequate answers, we may ask for a small fee.

Our site is there to advise you and to reach those folks who cannot afford spending money to get simple answers or simple problems solved in construction and engineering.

Our team is made out of different volunteers whose first aim is to serve you. For professional queries or answers requiring a certain amount of work and input, we may as for a donation or for a small fee.

Your participation on our platform is rewarded with a small fee per post (1 Euro Cent per post), provided your answers and posts are reasonable and helping the member to resolve his query. The more professional and helpful your answer is, the more likely you are to receive a donation from the query author. All donations to you will be paid out at 90%, the rest being retained by the site administration to improve the service offered.

Be an expert and mask your extensive answers if required with a fee, to be read by any interested member only after payment has been received. 60% of the paid fee will be charged to your account for your contribution.

Our platform is growing by day and we are focussed on a social behaviour and free of charge service, especially for those folks who cannot afford professional engineering help.

Our construction and engineering platform “engineering.cailler.org” is opened to anybody who has serious queries or is willing to help others in a voluntary manner. We are answering queries in following categories, in English, French and German:

General construction and civil engineering,
Project Management,
Site Management,

The use of online quizzes for engineering studies is getting more and more important to boost students interest in attending a course or choosing a specific engineering discipline.

In Europe, training through online quizzes (true/false, multiple choice) at universities has not fully reach the trend that can be observed in the US or Australia. A survey from the University of Michigan indicates that U.S. based universities tend more and more to use anonymous online quizzes as an effective feedback mechanism in engineering education.

The University of South Australia has published a paper to assess the importance of online quizzes to stimulate and maintain student interests in a first year engineering course. This survey was conducted after having experienced an increasing disengagement of students on campus towards teaching and learning activities. 70% of students acknowledged the importance of online quizzes as a effective way of testing and focussing learning. 80% of students agreed to the learning flexibility of online quizzes.

Unforetunately, training through quizzes outside of universities is barely not existent, especially for

• pupils showing interest in an engineering carrier,
• professionals and specialists wanting to refresh their basic engineering knowledge,
• the general public needing to get an overview of what engineering studies are all about.

This is the reason why we do offer, at Cailler.org Engineering, free quizzes for all folks interested in engineering. We also give you the option of creating your own quizzes for others to play, in any wished engineering disciplines. Your own quiz contributions may help to promote and train others in your preferred field, so do not hesitate and be a quiz author and join our quiz community.
