This is concerning since few (if any) of the definitionsfor computational thinking mention anything vaguely sociopolitical, such as ethics, social justice,cultural competency [7], or global competency [8].1 Even though computational thinkers areexpected to shift between varying levels of abstraction [10], the omissions imply thatsociopolitical concerns are auxiliary to thinking computationally and, potentially, to being acomputer scientist. If computational thinking is as central to computing pedagogy as researcherssuggest, then there should be concern that the assimilation of students into

are four main attributeswithin this dimension: 1) The epistemological openness attribute captures the inclination of anengineer to “recognize and value the subjective experiences and perspectives of others as validand important source of knowledge” [1, p. 135]. Epistemological openness allows a researcher tocapture the thought process behind the various actions of an engineer. 2) The second attribute isthe micro to macro focus which informs the need for an engineer to consider the systems-levelimplications of their action along with the individual level implications. 3) The reflective valueawareness attribute covers the need for ethical and professional impact of an engineer’s action.The ability to reflect on their own values and improve

The final grade was compared against thecumulative work hours to determine relationship.Time spent versus scores received were expected to exhibit a sigmoidal trend with the currentstudent population.

These are all outcomes of the ABETEngineering Criteria, and formed the basis of preparing students for both their academic andtheir professional careers.The first-year program at Michigan State University was created to teach students about theimportance of the engineering profession in solving society’s most challenging problems, whilemaking a positive impact on the world around them through the application of the skills learnedin EGR 100 [2]. Since the challenges that engineers will be faced with upon graduation will beglobal in their scale, it is
