The document introduces a project focused on low carbon engineering open educational resources (OER) aimed at supporting sustainable practices in engineering education. It outlines the types of materials needed, including teaching content and guidance on low carbon practices, to create a comprehensive online resource collection. The project will aggregate resources and promote their reuse to foster a community of practice centered on sustainability and low carbon technologies.
![Low Carbon Engineering OER Project We need: Teaching and tutorial content, software tools, books, exam papers, project guides and materials. Anything and everything that could be reused elsewhere but demonstrates your own excellence. Anything related to sustainability, low carbon technologies, resource efficiency etc. Any other type of materials textbooks, articles, guides, user manuals, instructions, course specifications etc. Create a catalogue of resources that also links to other resources hosted elsewhere, which automatically updates as new resources are added. Promote the resources to encourage their reuse. If you have resources that you would like to share and include within this project please contact Rob Pearce 01509 227171 [email_address] Alex Fenlon 01509 227192 [email_address]](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/projectoverview130910-101004104028-phpapp02/85/Low-Carbon-Engineering-Open-Educational-Resources-4-320.jpg)

Anything you like: Lecture or tutorial notes and presentations Diagrams and graphs Exam papers Software tools For examples see www.engsc.ac.uk/OER . We, along with the other STEM Subject Centres produced a guide highlighting everything you need to know about OER and how to go about OER release. http://stemoer.pbworks.com/ . Or you could look at the FAQ page on our website http://engsc.ac.uk/oer/faq for a quick overview.
- 3. Low Carbon Engineering OER Project This project will investigate and surface open educational resources currently in use over a range of engineering and related subjects supporting the crucial issue of sustaining a low carbon economy. Resources selected will include technical and non-technical teaching materials as well as guidance on incorporating low carbon practice into existing teaching courses in academia and industry. Subjects will include, but are not limited to, energy efficiency, sustainable development, renewable energy technology, waste minimisation, human issues and social responsibility, product lifecycle, total cost of ownership and recycling. Guidance materials will include re-skilling the existing workforce, low carbon transition for business and education, ethics and embedding sustainability into the curriculum. This project will involve the creation of an Internet based collection on the Engineering Subject Centre’s web site incorporating a foundation of existing linked resources enhanced by a dynamic search system that by employing real-time data interchange techniques will allow the aggregation of related resources from online services, ensuring the collection remains up-to-date and connected to the broader community of practice. As well as drawing together material the collection will provide re-syndication services such as remote embedding of search facilities using established technologies such as RSS to raise awareness.
