Material Detail

It has been a rewarding experience to develop the OER material for the ComprehensiveGeneral Chemistry course geared towards engineering majors. We have learned manythings through this transformation process, and we are grateful for the supportshowered by USG. We have curated the content from the OpenStax Chemistry textbookand transformed the material as appropriate for the selected course.

Our first task was to create learning objectives for the several chapters as guided by the syllabus of this course. This effort required identifying the correct HTML file for theOpenStax material. Our library liaison helped us to import the files under LibGuides(library guides) and created a new course for us. This effort needed reshuffling of thecontent and we modified 21 chapters in OpenStax which were converted to 13 chaptersin LibGuides at Georgia Southern University (GSU). This took a chunk of time for PI andCo-PI to decide which topics we would like to emphasize related to the learning outcomes of this course.

While doing so, we added content relevant to electrical, mechanical engineeringapplications. For instance, while discussing redox reaction under the chemical reactionchapter, we incorporated an example to display molten metal in creation at steel millswhich very much rely on redox processes and is linked to the chemical and industrialengineering processes.
