A sampling of some options proposed by a researcher [5]are sequenced, parallel,partial, enhanced, and total approaches for STEM Integration that have demonstrated someeffects on science learning[6]. In all of these models, what has been accepted is the importanceof the design process in providing students with a meaningful context for identifying multiplesolutions to be applied to problems.[7], [8], [9], [10].Although there has not been an agreed way to do integrated engineering and science, there is,however, an accepted tool for measuring the effectiveness of integrated curriculums (STEM-Integration Curriculum Assessment)[1], based upon a STEM Integration

Though many considerations were involved in theproposal submission stage, the real-world integration of this work was still a novel concept.Our intention was to create content that could be easily adapted by teachers after they were introduced tothe curriculum for their use. This meant that the lesson plans would need to fit within a standard period, ablock period (for intensive courses), or two successive normal class periods for a middle school class.Designing with a standard bell schedule in mind meant that on average we would have 40-60 minutes ofinstructional time per standard period.

These findings were all on in-service teachers, and some items in the survey may not be applicable to pre-service teachers. Forexample, the question “Did your pre-service curriculum include any aspects of DET?” Studentswho are earlier in the education curriculum may not yet have encountered science or mathmethods courses which is where one would typically encounter DET in an elementary educationcurriculum.

Secondly, faculty have notonly not been trained in these topics, but also have not been trained in teaching themeffectively, and they do not generally have the time required to learn that independently.Thirdly, it is not usually obvious how these topics can be sensibly integrated into variouscourses without appearing to be extraneous add-ons.
