Program1. Introduction The geographically specific mission and teaching focus of community colleges empowersstudents from populations that have systemically been excluded from university programs.Community colleges stand apart from other higher education institutions for their role incultivating a demographically diverse, talented pool of engineering and technology scholars fromlow-income backgrounds [1], [2]. Engineering associate degree completion by women, Blackand Latine/Latinx students is nearing demographic parity [3]. Community colleges have beenable to meet the needs of underserved students in engineering education while establishinginclusive practices, and student services that counter the marginalization that students experiencein
digital native students is the topic of thispaper.Aside from educational integrity, engaging digital natives could lead to an improvement in theirproblem-solving skills. Moreover, Accrediting Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET)standards stress the need for engineering graduates to have the ability to solve problems in additionto being knowledgeable of current issues. In addition, complex problem solving skills is predictedto be the most prevalent skill to thrive in the workforce in 2020 [5]. Real world problems helpstudents’ understanding to become more integrated [6, 7]. However, most instructional approacheslimit students’ ability to transfer learning by focusing on course-specific information.Active learning involves students
