    Abstract: Many scholars claimed the integration of science, technology, engineering and
    mathematics (STEM) education is beneficial to the national economy and teachers and
    institutes have been working to develop integrated education programs. This study
    examined a project-based learning (PjBL) activity that integrated STEM using survey and
    interview methods. The participants were 30 freshmen with engineering related backgrounds
    from five institutes of technology in Taiwan. Questionnaires and semi-structured
    interviews were used to examine student attitudes towards STEM before and after the PjBL
    activity. The results of the survey showed that students’ attitudes to the subject of engineering
    changed significantly. Most of the students recognized the importance of STEM in
    the science and engineering disciplines; they mentioned in interview that the possession of
    professional science knowledge is useful to their future career and that technology may
    improve our lives and society, making the world a more convenient and efficient place. In
    conclusion, combining PjBL with STEM can increase effectiveness, generate meaningful
    learning and influence student attitudes in future career pursuit. Students are positive
    towards combining PjBL with STEM.
