By incorporating engineering lessons into the other STEM subjects across all grade levels, educators allow students to combine what they've learned in an effort to solve real problems. These lessons and activities encourage students to investigate all the “making, moving and improving” activities involved in the work of an environmental engineer. The processes carried out in these lessons teach useful correlations, deeper understandings and real world applications of skills that students may not usually attribute to the world of engineering.
