questions. Therefore, it is desiredto use a low cost open educational resource (OER) that can be adapted to the needs of eachcourse. One such OER is MyOpenMath, a mathematics based online tool that integrates intocommon learning management systems and is free for both faculty and students. In this paperwe discuss how this tool is currently implemented in a senior capstone design course and a unitoperations laboratory in chemical engineering. This presentation includes characteristics ofMyOpenMath, benefits for instructors, available instructor training, and benefits over usingcurrent quizzes in the Canvas LMS. Not limited to chemical engineering courses, MyOpenMathis applicable to any equation based course. This paper focuses on the faculty

proposed that actualengineering examples and reporting of case-studies should be used. Similarly Gao [10] discussedthe Task-Based-Instruction and the Project-Based-Instruction pedagogies as learner-centeredapproaches to teach technical writing, the former being based on assigned writing tasks for eachlesson, typically to a student team, while the latter utilizes a team-project for most of thesemester. He emphasized that the core or focus for either approach is not the learning of anystructure and grammar points, but instead communicating the tasks involved in technical writing,although language proficiency still helps students, as it improves student completion of the tasks.Several innovative approaches have been proposed to teach technical
