AQA Engineering MarksmithPro Rubric and comment presets

A ready-to-import AQA Engineering rubric for MarkSmithPro, covering problem solving, technical drawings, planning, practical skills, systems, testing, and evaluation.

This is a ready-to-import MarkSmithPro preset for AQA Engineering. It is designed to support structured, criteria-based marking for project work and practical engineering evidence.

The preset covers:

• Problem solving
• Drawings and conventions
• Production planning
• Engineering skills used
• Applying systems technology
• Testing and evaluating

Each section includes mark bands and feedback wording so students can see where their work sits against the criteria and what would move it forward. It is particularly useful when you want marking to be consistent across multiple groups, teachers, or assessment points.

How to use it:

1. Open MarkSmithPro.
2. Import the .marksmith file from this download.
3. Add your class list.
4. Select the descriptors that best match each student’s evidence.
5. Export or print the finished feedback sheets.

This is not a worksheet or standalone document. It is a MarkSmithPro project file, so it needs the free MarkSmithPro desktop app to open. I built it to make Engineering marking clearer, faster to apply, and easier to moderate.
