Nowadays, 21st-century skill is being considered as one of the educational policies in some developed countries to be well-trained at schools. The science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education (STEM) provides a high opportunity in exercising this skill to students. According to the national Indonesian curricula, it can be found that the students commonly must follow many subjects of course scheduled by a public school with relatively-difficult content. Based on our investigation, the difficulties might be handled by applying the engineering course model. The class can be conducted separately as an independent subject such as the basic technology education, which is provided as a special subject in a private school, or an extracurricular activity of students- science forum for whom interested to this subject. To facilitate a well-scientific activity, the model of engineering curricula is needed especially to train the 21th-century skill. Thus, this work has reported the survey of STEM education activities implemented at some middle schools, the interviews to some teachers who are responsible to the science subject, and the analysis of science subject contents in Indonesian curricula 2013 for the middle school level.
