How are students’ algorithmic thinking skills manifested in their approaches to solving problems using programming? MethodsResearch SettingIn this research, we focus on one section of an introductory computer science course for first-year engineering students at a private, highly selective research university in the northeasternUnited States. Because the course is for engineering students, there is a heavy emphasis onmodeling, data analysis, and statistics. The course is also a testbed for the inclusion of ethics andsociotechnical thinking within engineering classrooms. The section in this study

Universities similarly focus on helping students throughcognitive means, such as encouraging faculty to improve teaching methods, upgrading orimproving technology resources or developing tutoring for specific courses. What is often notsupported are students’ non-cognitive competencies, which have been shown in previous studiesto be related to academic performance.
