1 How Engineering is Elementary units link to the Indiana State Science Standards EiE teaches engineering content and links to science content, but does not teach science content. This resource should be used to find which EiE units we suggest will integrate best with the science topics taught in your state at each grade level. EiE also integrates with language arts, math, and social studies content so it is important look comprehensively at curriculum within grade levels to determine the EiE unit that integrates best.
