The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) and theComputer Science Teachers Association (CSTA) have well-designed definitions and frameworksthat can be opted from CT assessment[14]. However, they were developed for K-12 education, aresomewhat broad, and do not specifically target undergraduate engineering. In addition to thedifficulty of having very generic definitions of Computational Thinking coming from a K-12context, the frameworks based on which CT is being assessed even in undergraduate engineeringspace are also coming from K-12 space. The need for a specialized and consensual framework toassess engineering undergraduates' CT skills and learning outcomes is evident [35].Students

The first is that design and business concepts (e.g. IP,funding sources, creating a value proposition, and project management) are routinely employedby even the most “pure” research academic in physics - even more so the vast majority ofphysicists who are employed in the private sector.
