Hi Heather,

The LibreTexts initiative has been doing some great work collaboratively building on the OpenStax texts. See for example: https://eng.libretexts.org/

Cheers,
Rajiv

Subject: [Canadaoer] OER and Open Pedagogy in Engineering

Good morning all.

There are some rumblings coming out of our College of Engineering that they are interested in using OER / open pedagogy in first year courses. This possibility is coming as they prepare to renew the first year curriculum. Currently first year Engineering students are using a local adaptation of University Physics, which we’ll hopefully release widely this summer, and an Engineering Economics book is in the works. We’ll hopefully release that one in the fall.

I’m wondering if anyone else knows of other OER and open pedagogy being used in colleges of Engineering that they could share with me.

Thank you.
