avenues for future work with these results. One intriguing possibility isto use AI tools as a first step in programming process. For instance, students can generate theircode as more of a pseudo-code and then test their initial thoughts with ChatGPT. This would workwell as a pre-laboratory assignment, which would be especially helpful for students that do nothave access to the software at home. It has the potential to make that initial program and AI test asort of precompiling game to test how close their initial program comes to what ChatGPT outputs.Then in the beginning of lab they can test both their initial and their AI revised programs.Another potential avenue to explore is the use of AI tools in transitioning between differentprogramming

Due to smallsample sizes in both years and similarities in program activities, program participants’evaluations did not have a significant variance that justifies statistical analyses using twodifferent samples. Therefore, no statistical analyses were conducted to differentiate pre- andpost-COVID program evaluation results, and data from these two years were combined, resultingin a sample size of thirty.Program Overview The NSTI at Central Connecticut State University program introduces a wide range ofSTEM and transportation topics through carefully designed curriculum activities, includinglectures led by professors, hands-on laboratory exercises tailored to engage

However, while overall productivity in theresearch laboratory is likely to increase by involving more individuals in the enterprise,productivity based on some measures (e.g., rate of publication in archival journals) may or maynot increase. It is easy to imagine a scenario in which time devoted by faculty and graduatestudents to educating an undergraduate in the laboratory, at least temporarily, undermines otherlaboratory activities.While the overall benefits of engaging undergraduates in research are clear, compelling, andborne out over time and at scale, the individual experiences of the involved undergraduatestudents, graduate students, and faculty face some risks and challenges [6].

However, only one graduate student was a TA and had full access to undergraduaterecitation sessions; two other graduate students were teaching assistants but were involved withgrading and minimal classroom instruction. For this reason, the focus of the program was shiftedtoward learning about and discussing inclusive teaching, and away from implementation andformative feedback. In future iterations, consistent classroom, laboratory, and/or recitationinstruction will be a criterion to participate. It is expected that the TAs’ real-time classroomexperiences and the feedback cycle will generate rich discussion, challenge TAs’ thinking aboutinclusion and equity in STEM, and enhance TA and undergraduate
