Of the 17UN Goals the engineering students selected eight as illustrated in Figure 2. • Goal 5: Gender Equality • Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation • Goal 7: Affordable and Clean Energy • Goal 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure

]. Computationalthinking (CT) as defined by Jeannette Wing, who first brought it to the attention of the computerscience education community in 2006 [2], and later refined the definition, “is the thought processesinvolved in formulating a problem and expressing its solution(s) in such a way that a computer-human or machine-can effectively carry out” [3]. In other words, is a methodology that can beemployed to plan and formulate the solution to a problem so that the steps necessary can be carriedout by either a computer or a person. One characterization that is used to define the CT involvesthe following four core cornerstones: 1) decomposition, 2) pattern recognition, 3) abstraction, and4) algorithms [4]. Decomposition involves breaking the original problem into
