The Role of Computer Science in Liberal Arts Education & SocietyComputer Science integrates three fundamental processes: theory (from mathematics), abstraction (based on the scientific method), and design (from engineering) [1]. The problem solving perspectives emphasized in CS provide important mental models for addressing problems in many disciplines. This is sometimes called “algorithmic thinking” or “computational thinking.” As described by Walker et. al., “methodologies within computer

subjects—and to excite them about math and science. MESA stands for Mathematics Engineering Science Achievement, and MESA Day tests all of those skills through fun challenges such as building stick bridges, designing and flying gliders, creating prosthetic arms and building energy-generating windmills from straws and masking tape. Students have been working on these projects throughout the year—in class and after school—and then they bring them, and their own high hopes, to PLU each spring. It’s a
