since 2006 focus on secondary STEM content. Theresults obtained by reviewing these lessons indicate that 59, 62, 66, and 78% of STEP lessonsanalyzed contain components of mathematics, engineering, technology, and science, respectively(see Table 1). Interestingly, 97% of lessons at least partially contain components from at leastthree of these disciplines. When evaluating lessons that definitely contain elements from,science, technology, engineering, and/or math, 82% contain content from at least two of thesefour STEM areas, suggesting a trend that STEP lessons are interdisciplinary.More than 97% of lessons address or partially address the use of multiple learning styles, andmore than 93% of STEP lessons contain a real-world application.

engineering.For an introduction to environmental engineering applications, students visit the National GasMachinery Laboratory of Kansas State University to investigate exhaust emissions. The activitydescribed in this paper has been developed to provide both a problem solving and a laboratoryactivity on exhaust emissions. The students spend three two hour sessions on the activity.During the first session, the students are introduced to the technology and perform the initialproblem development and discussion portions of the activity. During the second session, thestudents perform the laboratory, collecting the data using the emissions analyzer. During thethird session, students analyze the data and discuss the results. Student comments about theactivity
