The term “computational thinking” gained attention beyond the computerscience community after Wing’s 2006 article, which outlined how CT benefits everyone, not justcomputer scientists.

Publications in technical journals require that the work be peeredreviewed. So, why does a student have to complete his or her dissertation before he or she learnshow to write a successful technical journal?Fourth, as noted before the format for the traditional Ph.D. dissertations does not require thestudent’s
