Computational Thinking and Software Engineering: first steps towards a proposal for systematization of problem solving
Abstract
Computational Thinking (CT) involves concepts and techniques from Computer Science that can help in problem solving. Software Engineering (SE) encompasses different actions related to the systematic organization for software development, focusing on the quality and effectiveness of the delivered product. Both CT and SE constitute approaches that involve problem solving grounded in the fundamentals of Computing. This work addresses the first steps towards an interrelationship between the areas that will allow the foundation of future proposals that aim to systematize the problem-solving process.
