A couple of instructors at UBC are developing an open textbook for mechanical and chemical engineering. They are also using WeBWork and BCcampus and UBC are supporting them to develop WeBWork problems that are open and available in the WeBWork open problem library. They are really good about sharing there work, you may want to contact them directly.
Here is a video story BCcampus produced about their work developing open problems.

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.
