Abstract

This paper describes a program called ESTEEM (Expeditions in Science, Technology, and Engineering Education through Mathematics) that helps to provide high school students and teachers, a non-traditional experience in mathematics and engineering exploration and demonstrates the multi-faceted role of integrated mathematics and engineering in solving problems from real-world applications.
