Abstract: Engineering education and computational thinking have gained great attention in the past decade by researchers and practitioners specifically in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics + Computing (STEM+C) education fields. Many countries around the world have been working on enhancing STEM+C contents (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) in their school setting so that could empower each individual’s academic and personal STEM+C skills that are essential for the country’s sustainable competitive growth in the long trajectory. As a result, STEM+C education becomes an important key aspect supporting improvements to the national economy in the scope of computing and engineering. However, few examples ...
