DOFPro
The Degrees of Freedom Project (DOFPro) was founded to take previously developed proprietary instructional information and convert it to be released under an open source license. The two sets of instructional information are in the areas of Chemical and Thermal Processes, and High Power Rocketry. The existing information was produced for Engineering classes at Harvey Mudd College. You can examine the existing websites and videos for the classes following the links below. In Chemical and Thermal Processes the links are E82, Chemical and Thermal Processes, E133, Chemical Reaction Engineering and E134, Advanced Engineering Thermodynamics. In High Power Rocketry, the link is E178, High Power Rocketry.
Our chosen web development platform is Quarto. The chosen open-source packages are:
- LibereOffice
- Python with NumPy and SciPy.
- SageMath
- FreeCAD
- DWSIM
with the possibility of other packages to be added.
You can read more about the Chemical and Thermal Processes work at the link above, or go to the current Chemical and Thermal Processes website, which is in a very early state of development.
You can read more about the High Power Rocketry work at the link above, or go to the current High Power Rocketry website, which is in a very early state of development.
If you would like to join the DOFPro team, please submit two samples of your work, chosen from the List of Samples page to comments@dofpro.org and include “Samples” in your subject line. Please provide information about what two samples you have chosen and why you chose them.
