Abstract
Based on a preliminary study conducted in one of the international schools in Bandung, the implementation of STEM is only done once a semester. The perceived constraints are the unavailability of teaching materials. Science learning that is integrated with engineering design will facilitate students to be able to make product designs. STEM learning with engineering design will train students to use scientific and mathematical knowledge in making products. This will make learning more meaningful in overcoming real problems even by professional engineering workers. By using quantitative descriptive methods, showing the results of the average value of 8.25 engineering abilities, the feasibility of teaching materials in the category is very feasible and the understanding of students is 94%.
