As a university professor for more than 30 years, I’ve often wondered why the general areas of technology and arts have been seen as so separate on campus. My experience is that there is great value in having a strong understanding of both areas. Engineering design practice, including computational thinking, can be seen as a form of creative design thinking as practiced in the arts.
When art and technology come together, artistic sensibility and creativity are used for concept and planning, while computer science and engineering skills are used to realize a design vision.
