instructional methods within the classroom to improve student understandingand enhance their attitudes towards the subject. [1] Use of traditional lecture alone is typicallynot as effective as incorporating engaging active learning activities by means of classroomdiscussion, hands-on activities, demonstrations, and simulations. Previous studies have foundthat after two weeks, people generally remember 10% of what they read, 20% of what they hear,30% of what they see, 50% of what they hear and see, 70% of what they say, and 90% of whatthey say and do.

].The experiences serve as academic anchors that bolster confidence, a growth mindset,motivation, a sense of connection with faculty and peers [3], and collaborative learning [4]. Firstyear discipline-specific experiences can better inform students of the profession, significantlyimprove retention, and grow strong associations of students with their respective engineeringdepartments [5].The use of 3D printing and CAD/simulation technology can be used in design-build-test projectswithin introductory courses to enrich student experiences. It can provide a realistic virtual canvasto explore, more fundamentally, the nature of the engineering design process [6].

OER are freelyaccessible learning materials for students to use and can be licensed for instructors to modify andredistribute. OER development in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM)disciplines has primarily been focused on large enrollment introductory courses such asIntroduction to Mechanical Engineering or Introduction to Physics. A common complaint amongMines faculty is the lack of existing OER to support high-level courses or niche subject areas,such as groundwater engineering or advanced manufacturing. Recognizing the need forhigh-quality OER across the curriculum, the
