We propose a novel approach to improve computational thinking (CT) and computer programming (CP) via a disciplinary-based problem solving approach. We hypothesize that the syntax needed for writing a computer code can be introduced through support programs in problem solving. This article demonstrates this approach through the problem of non-linear pendulum, a familiar problem solved in most engineering and physics classes. It is basically focused on implementing numerical techniques for solving ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Instead of using a syntax-based teaching approach, support programs can be used to identify the required coding elements. We envision that this approach can be transferable to many problems in STEM classes to motivate students towards computer programming.
