• Abstract: Technology is currently ubiquitous and is also part of the educational system at all levels. It started with communication technology systems, and later continued with digital competence. Nowadays, although these previous concepts are still in force and are useful for students and workers in general, a new concept has been born that can function as a cross-curricular competence called Computational Thinking. There is currently no consensus on the definition of computational thinking, nor on the classification of its skills, but there is a consensus that it refers to a set of skills necessary for the formulation and resolution of problems. The study of Computational Thinking has been very influential in recent years in research on teaching and learning processes, which has led educational institutions to begin to address these issues during training. In this paper, we try to introduce this new cross-curricular competence and expose a project of implementation of Computational Thinking in engineering careers through Calculus subject.

• We Need to Effectively Integrate Computing Skills Across Discipline Curricula [4.8907785057470905]
  Traditional computing courses fail to equip non-computing discipline students with the necessary computing skills. We advocate an approach where courses in discipline X include the computing relevant to the learning outcomes of that course. The goal has to be to advance students in their disciplines, and only the disciplinary experts can tell us how computing is used in that discipline.
