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.
