PPT-Computational Thinking

Enrico Pontelli Department of Computer Science New Mexico State University The buzzword Computational Thinking The thought processes involved in formulating problems and their solutions so that the solutions are represented in a form that can be effectively carried out by an information processing agent Wing. By Daniel Lee. CSE 3. Fluency with Information Technology. (FIT). Computational . Thinking is thinking at multiple levels of abstraction. For solving problems. For designing systems. For understanding the power and limits of human and machine intelligence. Batmen Camp. Outreach Program. Dr. Suzanne . Shontz. Department of Mathematics and Statistics.

Is it teachable?. How to assess?. Abstraction has two facets. “Removing detail to simplify and focus attention” [p38]. “identifying the common core or essence” [p38]. Ovidiu P. â. rvu. , PhD student.
