Abstract
Although we would agree that the components of STEM do not need to be taught all together, all the time, authentic exemplary integrated STEM curricula are difficult to find. When educators refer to integrated STEM teaching and learning, they often mean SM (science and math) or TE (technology and engineering), and one might even find STM or SEM. Integrated STEM is defined in this paper as a lesson that combines all aspects of STEM: science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in a unique way that is dependent upon all of the fields.
