This builds on a previous project where a lack of geometric visualization in the student comprehension of three-dimensional concepts was discovered. With the help of mechanical engineering students from the school of engineering, a system and set of tools is being created. This set of tools is helping students of science and engineering visualize concepts relating to points, surfaces, curves, contours, and vectors in three dimensions.The goals for the project are the following: (a) to manufacture sets of these tools, which can be used both by instructors and by students in small groups. (b) to publish an accompanying manual for the use of these tools. (c) to locate partner institutions to pilot test these tools.To realize these goals, mechanical engineering students are refining tools currently being used to a level where they can be mass-produced. The senior personnel are writing the accompanying manual for their effective use. Local tests are being run to test their effectiveness. Partner institutions are being identified to help pilot test these tools.This project is having a strong impact on underrepresented minorities in SEM fields. It involves faculty development and the integration of new tools in the mathematics curriculum.

这是建立在以前的一个项目中，缺乏几何可视化的三维概念的学生的理解被发现。在工程学院机械工程专业学生的帮助下，正在创建一个系统和一套工具。这套工具帮助科学和工程专业的学生在三维空间中直观地理解与点、面、曲线、轮廓和矢量有关的概念，该项目的目标如下：（a）制作一套这些工具，供教师和学生小组使用。(b)出版一份使用这些工具的附带手册。(c)为了实现这些目标，机械工程专业的学生正在改进目前使用的工具，使其达到可以批量生产的水平。高级人员正在编写相应的手册，以便有效使用。目前正在进行当地测试，以测试其有效性。正在确定伙伴机构，以帮助对这些工具进行试点测试，该项目正在对少数民族在教育、科学和文化领域代表性不足的问题产生重大影响。它涉及教师的发展和新工具在数学课程的整合。
