The Connecting Researchers, Educators and Students (CREST) program (http://cbm.msoe.edu/crest) is designed to advance use of physical and computer based models of molecular structures to enhance student learning, introduce students to science research and to determine the impact of these additions to the learning environment. Both the 3-D printed protein models and the accompanying learning materials are produced by teams of students and faculty in consultation with researchers whose work is described in the materials or based on a reading of the appropriate primary literature. This current project is disseminating the CREST approach to other institutions through workshops and web-based materials. The project also adds to the information concerning the learning outcomes evolving from CREST since it focuses on the rigorous assessment of the impact of the program on student learning at three large institutions (UW-Madison, Stony Brook University and Rochester Institute of Technology), while simultaneously testing new paradigms of scalability and dissemination across the nation. A new component of this expansion project involves partnering with the Medical College of Wisconsin to offer training to future faculty in student-centered, active pedagogy.The intellectual merit of this proposal is that it responds to recent calls to transform undergraduate education so that students actively engage in science discourse and practice and the strength and experience of the leadership team.The broader impact of this project is the information it is gathering on the importance of physical models and visualization in helping students understand biochemical and molecular processes and their importance in metabolic and pharmaceutical processes.

连接的研究人员，教育工作者和学生（CREST）计划（http://cbm.msoe.edu/crest）旨在提高基于物理和计算机的分子结构模型，以增强学生学习，向学生介绍科学研究并确定这些添加剂对学习环境的影响。 3-D打印的蛋白质模型和随附的学习材料都是由学生和教师团队与研究人员协商的团队生产的，这些研究人员在材料中描述了工作或基于对适当的主要文献的阅读。 当前的项目正在通过研讨会和基于网络的材料传播到其他机构的波峰方法。 该项目还增加了有关从Crest演变而来的有关学习成果的信息，因为它着重于对该计划对三个大型机构（UW-Madison，Stony Brook University和Rochester Institute of Rochester of Technology）的影响的严格评估，同时测试了全国各地的可伸缩性和扩散性的新范围。 该扩展项目的一个新组成部分涉及与威斯康星州医学院合作，以以学生为中心的，积极的教学法为未来的教师提供培训。该提议的智力优点是，它响应了最近的呼吁，以响应新的本科教育，以使学生积极参与科学和实践和领导力的实力和实力，以了解学生的实力和范围，从而使人们对知识进行了更广泛的影响。生化和分子过程及其在代谢和药物过程中的重要性。
