The core of educational reform is curriculum reform. Since the 20th century, the United States has carried out three major curriculum reform, the main trend is more emphasis on curriculum integration, more concerned about the development of students.

The integration of STEM curriculum in the United States has become a systematic understanding of the integration of the United States STEM curriculum for Chinese science and technology curriculum content optimization and integration to provide reference. To this end, select the Washington state system to introduce its STEM curriculum system to understand the way it integrates.This paper is divided into three parts. Firstly, it analyzes the STEM curriculum system in Washington State and reveals the way of integrating STEM curriculum from the target elements,content elements and process elements of its curriculum system.

To this end,we summarize the Washington State STEM curriculum system and its aesthetic perspective analysis of China’s science and engineering integration and development of STEM education two inspiration:1. curriculum design and implementation should maintain an open mind, and give students the opportunity to fully express 2.
