This paper presents the results in the area of Computer Science and Formal Methods Education. The result was an effort to study the formal method software tools into computer science student curriculum. Our purposes were to pioneer an innovative methodology that will increase the learning experience by introducing the use of mechanized approaches in teaching formal methods and to demonstrate the potential of graduate students for learning formal analysis techniques, by using these software tools. This methodology depends on the traditional teaching models and adds the use of automated software tools to enhance the student´s learning experience. The result demonstrated increased student performance and understanding of difficult concepts in formal software analysis and design problems with the use of mechanized assistants.
