A collection of high quality online educational resources for teaching and learning with emphasis on the sciences, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
Courses
Engineering Statistics (CC BY-NC-SA)
This Engineering Statics course contains many interactive elements, spread throughout, to promote conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills. These include simulations, some with adjustable parameters controlled by the student, to help visualize concepts; “walk-throughs” that integrate voice and graphics to explain an example of the procedure or a difficult concept; and, most prominently, interactive exercises in which students practice problem solving, while receiving hints and feedback.
Mechatronics Technology Program (CC BY-NC-SA)
Created through a collaboration with the OPEN Platform+ program, the National STEM Consortium academic certificate in Mechatronics Technology is built on a 30-semester-credit model and is mapped to the Siemens Mechatronic Systems Level 1 certification. The skills taught include electrical, mechanical, and computer technologies. Graduates are prepared for entry-level Mechatronics positions in almost every industry.
Public Policy Analysis for Engineers (CC BY-NC-SA)
This course will introduce students to the interrelationship of engineering and public policy, how to conduct neutral policy analysis, and then apply that knowledge in case studies to practice the skills they have learned. The modules take a flipped classroom/active learning approach by using short videos to educate students, activities to practice the skills taught and incorporates real-world examples such as hydraulic fracturing, drones, and 3D printing.
Data

A digital repository of research data produced at the University of Edinburgh by the College of Science and Engineering.
Simulations
Engineering Technology (CC BY)
This website consists of a series of 3D simulations on engineering technology.
Supplemental Materials
Engineering Technology Simulations (CC BY)
A collection of open simulations covering automation and robotics, electrical & motor control, process control or renewable energy.
Textbooks
Basic Engineering Data Collection and Analysis (CC BY-NC-SA)
This textbook stresses the practical over the theoretical. Step by step, students get real engineering data and scenario examples along with chapter-long case studies that illustrate concepts in realistic, thoroughly detailed situations. This approach encourages students to work through the material by carrying out data collection and analysis projects from problem formulation through the preparation of professional technical reports—just as if they were on the job.
