, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, ParadigmsMotivation: Music and Fluency in Computing Levels of AbstractionThe notions of computer science as an art form itself and as a platform for creative minds toexercise new artistic direction have been intertwined since Ada Lovelace envisioned a futurewhere computer served as more than calculator machines.1 Her insight into the potential forcomputing machines stemmed in part from her dedicated study of the piano, singing, and as aharpist.2 Since music and the “fundamental relations of pitched sounds” may be quantified as ascience of the harmony of expression, she envisioned a computing machine that could composeelaborate pieces of music to any computable degree of complexity.While the extent

The use ofautomated essay scoring techniques have been widely developed and discussed across multiplesubject areas [9]. However, their usage remains problematic and they do not see significant usein the field of engineering education.This said, there have been many attempts at more detailed
