The Degrees of Freedom Project

Open educational resources in Chemical and Thermal Processes and High Power Rocketry

I started the Degrees of Freedom Project (DOFPro) to convert previously developed instructional materials that relied on proprietary textbooks, software, and platforms previously developed instructional materials into resources released under Creative Commons licenses and supported by open-source tools. Work on DOFPro is ongoing, but the principal work was completed between September 2023 and March 2026.

At present, DOFPro includes two major subject areas:

• Chemical and Thermal Processes (CTP)
• High Power Rocketry (RCK)

Much of the original material was developed for engineering courses at Harvey Mudd College. Links to the current DOFPro resources are provided below.
