and fail to grasp the actual concepts that the software wassupposed to reinforce. One course of action to eliminate this problem is to stream line thesoftware tools used throughout the curriculum. This would require a conscious, program-wideeffort to redesign the course curriculum using only one CAD/E product and is not a feasiblesolution to our problem. Instead, we propose a coordinated software effort within a program andan assessment program geared specifically towards the CAD/E tools used in each course to helpinstructors enhance classroom instruction and out-of-class independent student learning of newCAD/E Software. This paper will focus on the software application Active-HDL, theprogramming language VHDL, and an assessment tool we use

do notfeel stretched to meet their full potential for a multitude of reasons. The reasons include the "nochild left behind" clause, where more focus is being placed on those students who are struggling.This practice leaves more advanced students bored and neglected. This issue highlights thenecessity for a more challenging curriculum, instead of just meeting the minimum criteria. Inorder to uphold the state requirements, teachers have to be focused on all their students passingthe assessment exams to graduate on to the next grade rather than imparting education tostimulate their minds. This is an issue that needs to be addressed at a fundamental level.There is a need to be truly innovative in education to address the needs of all students

Yet,there are limited numbers of inquiry investigate approaches to incorporated CT into acurriculum. Betül Czerkawski researched ways to integrate CT across all curriculum, throughsurveying instructional CT designers. She constructed the survey using the ADDIEinstructional design model. One of her findings showed that the Mind Map(s) (MM) strategycan establish a better connection between CT and instructional design [1]; however, verylittle research existed to investigate the correlation

Of these, items two andfour focus on holistic engineering, emphasizing global cultural, social, environmental, andeconomic factors.To address all of the critical aspects of engineering projects, students must successfully analyze therequirements, synthesize information, and evaluate several design options for a given problem.These cognitive skills match well with Bloom’s
