Abstract
The research aimed to study the development of engineering design process and attitude towards STEM Education of Undergraduate in Biology Education Program. The target group students for the study were seven undergraduates in biology education program of one university in Thailand. The research instruments were STEM Project lesson plan (4 weeks), the engineering design process evaluate form, attitude towards STEM Education scale and semi-structure interview from. The mixed method research was used. The quantitative data was obtained by the engineering design process evaluate form and attitude towards STEM Education scale. The qualitative data was obtained by semi-structure interview. The quantitative data were statistically analyzed by using average, standard deviation, and the Wilcoxon Sign-Rank. The qualitative data was analyzed by using content analysis. The results showed that the STEM Project approach supported the students’ learning in development of engineering design process and was at excellent level for entire students. The attitude towards STEM Education after learning was significantly higher than before learning at .05.
