Currently, community collegesserve more first-generation college students, those who are traditionally underrepresented inscience technology, engineering and math (STEM) and others with financial needs than four-year universities. According to the American Council of Community Colleges, full timeenrollment in community colleges remain stable, with approximately 8,000,000 students enrolledfull time, yet part time enrollment is on the rise.7 Importantly, community colleges in the state inwhich this research is being conducted enroll 2.6 million annually

By engaging in these programs, students learn to apply conceptualknowledge from science and related subjects, including engineering, to solveopen-ended and ill-defined problems creatively [3], [4]. These skills can alsoprepare autistic students to succeed in real-world contexts [5].

well.IntroductionDigital logic design is a topic required by most ECE programs, based on curricularecommendations of IEEE and ABET. In such courses, students are taught how to design digitalcircuits to produce a set of output signals from a set of inputs through use of logic gates,registers, multiplexers, and other fundamental components. Students are also taughtfundamentals such as Boolean algebra, sequential logic, finite state machines, and combinationallogic. These skills are required to learn more complex concepts, for example, computerarchitecture, networking, and electronic systems. Thus, an early exposure to digital logic isnecessary for engineering students.As technology advances, universities and colleges struggle to prepare students for the tools
