Defining integrated STEM education isfurther complicated by the fact that connections can be reflected at more than one level at thesame time: in the student’s thinking or behavior, in the teacher’s instruction, in the curriculum,between and among teachers themselves, or in larger units of the education system, such as theorganization of an

Similarly, in engineering learningenvironments students are expected to be able to engage in self-directed learning while reflectingon their experiences in preparation for lifelong learning [18]. One drawback to the implementationof this approach is that students will only involve themselves in the process as much as they feelcomfortable to. This is true for any of the three types of activities but more so with theinteractive activities that requires them to work alongside their peers.
