it is important for programs to helpstudents to quickly adjust to the program and to build upon their identities as researchers [7].Sense of Belonging This study utilizes Strayhorn’s [4] definition of sense of belonging, which refers to afeeling of mattering or being connected and can be seen as a reflection of the supports that existwithin a given context. According to Strayhorn [4], a student’s sense of belonging has beenfound to be related to the retention, specifically, of women students majoring in STEM fields.Literature focusing on sense of belonging for women engineering majors has shown that womenfeel a lesser sense of belongingness than their men counterparts, contributing to a lower rate ofretention for women in engineering

American universities, for example, are excellent references in investmentsin the education of their engineering courses, as well as in modern teaching and adequateinfrastructure [2].Considered by different authors as one of the best ways for students to acquire complete andrealistic knowledge, active learning is another way of teaching. This approach is student-centered, ensuring that professors are professionals who guide students in this process [3],[4]. The involvement of the whole class increases from active learning strategies, making itpossible to develop an opportunity to reflect on learning in a set of solutions to real problems[5].The different active learning strategies also guarantee the development of professional skillsthat students

Collins [10] notes how racial identity development and gender identity begin to formbefore the development of any STEM interest. The relationship between Black students' gender-basedracial identity and their interest and persistence in STEM is complex.
