AB  -                   Engineering to Enhance STEM Integration EffortsCurrently, there is a movement in K-12 education to include engineering academic standards in thescience curriculum. The Next Generation Science Standards, which include engineering design learningideas, are starting to be adopted by states. This research project builds on the STEM Integration researchparadigm, defined as the merging of the disciplines of STEM. There are two main types of STEMIntegration: Content Integration and Context Integration. Content Integration focuses on the merging ofthe content fields into a single curriculum in order to highlight "big ideas" from multiple content areas.Whereas Context Integration focuses on the content of one discipline and uses contexts from others tomake the content more relevant. The purpose of this research is to understand and identify the ways inwhich teachers implement engineering standards in their classrooms. The research questions are:  1. How are K-12 engineering standards being implemented in science classrooms?  2. How are teachers using STEM Content Integration and Context Integration to address the     engineering standards? And what are the advantages/disadvantages of each?This project utilizes a mixed methods, multiple-case, embedded case study design that employs a varietyof data sources in order to fully understand teachers’ implementation strategies and obstacles as theywork to address the engineering standards in the K-12 classroom.This project advances pedagogical understanding about how to teach STEM content in aninterdisciplinary manner. It enhances the theoretical models of Context and Content Integration acrossSTEM and models of student learning in these context-rich interdisciplinary problem spaces. Byresearching the implementation of K-12 engineering standards, this project adds to the theoretical basisfor student learning in STEM integration environments.STEM integration has potential to increase student interest in STEM subjects and, therefore, the pipelineto STEM fields. Because the teacher professional development module schools include high needsschools in the urban area, this research documents the learning outcomes of underrepresented populationswhen presented with a STEM integration curricular unit. The inclusion of teacher professionaldevelopment in the project informs teacher preparation in STEM integration and provides necessary datafor making informed decisions about the direction for STEM curricula in the teaching and learning ofSTEM content.
