  In this world of the digital era, in which we are living, one of the
fundamental competences that students must acquire is the competence in
Computational Thinking (CT). Although there is no general consensus on a formal
definition, there is a general understanding of it as a set of skills and
attitudes necessary for the resolution, with or without a computer, of problems
that may arise in any area of life. Measuring and evaluating which of the CT
skills students have acquired is fundamental, and for this purpose, previously
validated measuring instruments must be used. In this study, a previously
validated instrument is applied to know if the new students in the Engineering
Degrees of the University of the Basque Country have the following skills in
CT: Critical Thinking, Algorithmic Thinking, Problem Solving, Cooperativity and
Creativity.
