This $364,593 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program aims to help students develop a deeper understanding of multivariable calculus concepts through engagement with the three-dimensional (3D) visualization app CalcPlot3D and hands-on learning activities using 3D-printed models.

The primary goals of this collaborative research project are to: 1) foster institutional implementation of computer visualization and 3D models in multivariable calculus classrooms, 2) expand the capabilities of the CalcPlot3D app to support visualization of additional topics, and 3) develop and test a series of classroom learning activities combining CalcPlot3D explorations and 3D-printed models. The project also includes an educational research component to investigate the adoption and impact of these resources by instructors at the lead institution (Monroe Community College) and several partnering institutions.
