systems that interact with humans and the world Shute and her colleaguesrefer to CT as the conceptual foundation for solving problems efficiently and effectively. Whensolving complex problems, CT helps with understanding complex phenomenon throughcombining the critical thinking skills and the fundamental concepts of computer science likeabstraction, decomposition and algorithm [7], [9], [11]. Therefore, engaging students in CTthrough the context of engineering education can promote problem-solving skills, and may helpstudents find innovative solutions and make good decisions [7].Wing [11] argues that CT is a core ability for reading, writing and math and should be added toanalytical ability of children.
