The study aimed to analyze the effect of Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Project-based Learning (PjBL) on students’ engineering practice, scientific practice, and scientific attitude. Scientific and engineering practice in this research focused on the planning and carrying out investigations (PCOI) aspect and obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information (OECI) aspect. This study employed the pretest-posttest control group design of experimental research. In this study, 70 of 8th-grade junior high school students in Yogyakarta were determined by a simple random sampling technique to become subjects. Data were obtained through (1) a multiple-choice test to measure the planning investigation and obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information as cognitive domains, (2) an observation sheet to observe the carrying out investigation as a psychomotor domain, (3) a questionnaire to obtain students’ scientific attitude of this study. The test instrument, the observation sheet, and the questionnaire had been developed and validated. Data from this study were analyzed by MANOVA in SPSS 16. The result of this study showed that STEM PjBL effected students’ scientific practice, engineering practice, and scientific attitude.
