!This study explores the student learning of engineering design practices and engineering thinkingskills as a result of one commonly suggested model for implementation, which includesintegrating engineering content and practices with science, mathematics, and/or STEMinstruction5, 11, 12.The research question that is guiding this study is: What evidence of students’engineering learning is present during the implementation of an elementary literacy and STEMintegration unit?BackgroundSTEM integration in the classroom is not yet a well-defined construct. For this research, we takeSTEM integration to require that engineering is the integrator of the STEM subjects and thateach subject has a meaningful role in the STEM integration curriculum

It is difficult to develop the many professional skills needed by today’s graduates withinthe framework of engineering programs that are crowded by technical requirements. A creativeapproach is to utilize online learning modules. There are several advantages to the onlinelearning modules over the development of more traditional classroom content: • A large number of students, ideally all engineering students, can be required to complete the modules thereby having broad impact • The modules can be easily shared with other institutions for deployment • The modules can
