Lagrangian and Bond Graph Methods
Short Description:
This open education resource presents effective system modelling methods, including Lagrangian and bond graph, and the application of a relevant engineering software tool, 20-sim. The content is designed for engineering students and professionals in the field to support their understanding and application of these methods for modelling, simulation, and design of engineering systems. The text also includes videos showing selected worked-out examples.
Long Description:
This textbook emphasizes the fundamentals of modelling methods—including Lagrangian and bond graph—and introduces a software tool for modelling and simulation to support the design of common engineering systems. This approach minimizes the time-consuming effort of manipulating and extracting system equations and writing computer code for integrating and finding their solution. We believe that our approach helps both students and professionals currently working in the field to become more productive engineers. Videos of selected worked-out examples help the reader understand the topic and applications for real-world engineering systems. This book comprises of 11 chapters.

From the Tissue Level to Clinical Manifestations and Inter-professional Care
Short Description:
This multimedia resource provides the science behind the disease that a health care professional is managing and an explanation of the signs and symptoms a patient is experiencing, starting at the tissue level. Each disease begins with a review of normal anatomy, histology and physiology - followed by the changes the disease has on the tissue (histopathology or anatomic pathology), organ (gross pathology), and function (pathophysiology). Videos and photos of gross pathological specimens & histological slides are included in every topic, with videolessons guiding viewers on the observable pathological changes. Because working with patients in their health journey is a team affair, this resource highlights the interprofessional collaboration that occurs between health care providers. This resource includes personal interviews with many health care professionals, explaining their role in a patient's diagnosis and/or treatment and management.
Long Description:
This multimedia resource is intended to ‘bridge the gap’ between normal anatomy and pathology texts and clinically-oriented resources. This resource is intended to provide the science behind the disease that a health care professional is managing and an explanation of the signs and symptoms a patient is experiencing. Each disease begins with a review of normal anatomy, histology and physiology – followed by the changes the disease has on the tissue (histopathology or anatomic pathology), organ (gross pathology), and function (pathophysiology). Videos and photos of gross pathological specimens & histological slides are included in every topic, with videolessons guiding viewers on the observable pathological changes.
Because working with patients in their health journey is a team affair, this resource highlights the interprofessional collaboration that occurs between health care providers. This resource includes personal interviews with many health care professionals, explaining their role in a patient’s diagnosis and/or treatment and management.
When appropriate, this resource includes parts from other Open Education resources which speak in more detail on normal anatomy & physiology, clinical skills, interprofessional collaboration, and the patient experience with a visit to the hospital.

BCIT │ School of Energy │ Power Engineering
Short Description:
This work complements the Applied Strength of Materials for Engineering Technology by Barry Dupen and is used in teaching Strength of Materials to Power Engineering students.
Long Description:
Applied Strength of Materials is a technical course in Power and Process Engineering program, second year. The course prepares the graduates for solving practical engineering problems; it also covers the topics needed for 2nd and 1st class Power Engineering certification exams.
This work is designed to complement the Applied Strength of Materials open textbook written by Dr. Barry Dupen, Associate Professor at Indiana University – Purdue University Fort Wayne. This open textbook covers all the topics required by the BCIT curriculum and Power Engineering certification exams. However, it does not include end of the chapter questions.
The current work complements the open textbook through: End of the chapter summary and highlights of the fundamental concepts Problem solving hints and procedures New chapter questions relevant to Power Engineering

Control Workplace Hazards
Short Description:
Safety is a part of the job. It is a shared responsibility between employees, employers and their supervisors in dealing with hazards in the workplace. In British Columbia, WorkSafeBC is the provincial organization that promotes workplace health and safety for workers and employers, provides a process to address work related incidents and incident outcomes, education and regulation of workplace safety. A part of its duties is mandating workers' use of personal protective equipment to protect them from general and specific hazards in the workplace, and workers outfitted with the correct attire and personal protective equipment and educated in optimal performance of physical labour actions to reduce the risk of personal, co-worker and bystander injury.
Long Description:
Safety is a part of the job. When you take a job, you have a safety obligation to your employer, co-workers, family, and yourself. By recognizing and understanding the hazards in your work area, you can prevent the occurrence of many accidents. Most accidents are preventable. Both employees and employers must take responsibility for making the workplace safe.
