Hi Heather,
The LibreTexts initiative has been doing some great work collaboratively building on the
OpenStax texts. See for example:

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.
