Courses
Engineering Statistics by Carnegie Mellon University Open Learning Initiative (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.
Mechanics for Applied Science curated and designed by Jennifer Kirkey (CC-BY) .
This is a first-year course in engineering mechanics intended for students pursuing a degree in engineering. Topics include two-dimensional and three-dimensional force systems, moments of a force, equations of equilibrium, truss analysis, machines, internal forces, friction, and particle kinematics.This course pack contains 23 modules. Each module has a lesson plan, a problem sheet, and an activity sheet with a completed example. The syllabus in this course pack details a potential course schedule and recommended readings from two different textbooks: a common commercial textbook and an open textbook with similar content.
Mechatronics Technology Program by Carnegie Mellon University Open Learning Initiative (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 by Carnegie Mellon University Open Learning Initiative (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.
