The associated pedagogy of open-ended design challenges in meaningful context and the iterative engineering design cycle are also partof the curriculum. Hands-on engineering design activities are to be integrated into four of the six existingscience courses for Liberal Studies majors. The third course in the science sequence is an Earth sciencecourse. The engineering module for this course is called Saving Rivertown. This module is broken intofour activities, each taking 45-60 minutes of class time.The emphasis of this activity is computer modeling, with most of the activities done as simulations usingNetLogo.

. Educators increasingly recognize the challenge of finding quality curricularmaterials for integrated STEM education. In this study, forty-eight teachers participated in ayear-long professional development program on STEM integration funded by National ScienceFoundation (NSF). Teachers designed twenty STEM curriculum units as a part of the project.Each STEM curriculum unit includes an engineering challenge in which students use or developtechnologies to solve the challenge and integrates grade level appropriate mathematics (dataanalysis and measurement) and one of the three science content areas: life science, physicalscience, or earth science. The study aims to evaluate the STEM curriculum units developed bythe project teachers. We also
