STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) have been educational topics for more than ten years or so, but the contents, the definition and integrated styles of them are still controversial. This paper summarizes the past researches about the definition and history of STEM and STEAM as well as the integration of disciplines. Important three integration categories : context integration, content integration, integration level are extracted from the past researches. These three categories are supposed to be useful to analyze the quality and quantity of the integration of all disciplines. The difference between the terms: disciplinary, multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary became clearer. The role of arts in the integration of disciplines must be clearer in the future.
