1 A computational thinking requirement for MIT undergraduates Report of the working group on computational thinking January 2017 Summary of findings: During the spring of 2016, Chair of the Faculty Krishna Rajagopal and Dean for Undergraduate Education Denny Freeman assembled a group of faculty, representing all five schools of the Institute, to conduct an in-depth study of the role of algorithmic reasoning/ computational thinking in the context of the education of MIT undergraduates. The group was asked to consider a set of questions relating to this topic, including whether formal exposure to algorithmic/ computational thinking should be required of all MIT undergraduate students.
While the terms “computational thinking” or “algorithmic reasoning” may have different connotations in different disciplines, there is a clear sense across the Institute that there is a common experience of using computation as a mode of
