I am an Open Educational Resources (OER) textbook for Engineering Statics to be released in Fall of 2020 as developed by @drdanteaches @e_henslee and others
I'm excited to announce that I'm co-directing a new 3-yr $2 million dollar project, Visualize Engineering Concepts Through Open Resources (VECTOR), to expand visualizations for Statics, Dynamics, and Mechanics of Materials. #OER

AI is opening new ways to learn. With a simple upload of the PDF of our #OER textbook https://t.co/tN3tCZFvNh, Google's NotebookLM created a podcast overviewing the book. While I'd revise a handful of parts, it's quite incredible! Check it out

The questions you ask yourself will largely determine the answers you get.
- “Why am I not successful?” You’ll get answers that berate you.
- “How can I succeed here?” You’ll get answers that push you.
Be deliberate in the questions you ask yourself.
I'm excited to share that https://t.co/tN3tCZEXXJ was used by over 250k people viewing 1.25 million pages in 2023.
Thank you to @PreTeXtBook for providing such a great platform & to @CoHigherEd for providing funding to encourage our labor of love.
Join us celebrating @CSU_CivE's Dan Baker, one of this year's Best Teacher Award winners!
"Dr. Baker inspires me to be patient, curious, open-minded, and confident in my ability to pursue engineering.”
Congrats @drdanteaches!

I was just reviewing the analytics data for https://t.co/tN3tCZFvNh and see that we have recently been discovered in Egypt.
مرحبا مصر!
Also, we have spiked to over 90k monthly views for the first time ever!
I love that we are helping so many students learn Statics!
Recently @joanzcarter has been helping us further improve https://t.co/tN3tCZFvNh with edits and suggestions.
Joan is an award-winning engineering faculty at @InverHillsCC, and we sincerely appreciate her time and expertise!

Thanks to @PreTeXtBook we were just able to add a search bar to Engineering Statics https://t.co/tN3tCZWyPh. Initial tests reveal that it quickly finds 1-word queries, but multi-word searches are not up to speed yet.
A great compliment from a faculty member who is adopting our Engineering Statics: Open and Interactive https://t.co/tN3tCZWyPh textbook:
"Thank you again for all your work on this. You are heroes. You have made so many things better and clearer."

#OER are an investment in making education more affordable & accessible
- Colorado's investment in OER has yielded an 8x ROI over just 3 years
- I leveraged my 2019 $5k grant for https://t.co/tN3tCZWyPh into ~$45k/yr @CSUEngineering student savings

I'm excited to find another #OER Statics book https://t.co/qlItbrJZEv in addition to our https://t.co/tN3tCZFvNh!
Thanks to @pressbooks and the authors for their hard work!
@LanceElyot The textbook of the future will be a flexible, adaptive space for interactive experimentation, a space that students help shape. @libretexts#openpedagogy#textbookofthefuture
I just Google'd "couples force statics" and https://t.co/Iumc1HjTNf from our @EngrStatics#OER textbook came up as the 2nd hit on the search!
Maybe Google is just trying to feed my ego.
Does our book show up when you click the link below?

I'm quite honored that I just was awarded the inaugural @ColoradoStateU Open Educator Award
I couldn't have done it without my https://t.co/tN3tCZWyPh team!
