our context, UTAs, usuallyjunior or senior undergraduate students, can assist with recitation and laboratory activities,providing a welcoming presence for women in computing and challenging the prevailing culture.A practical solution involves training UTAs in inclusive pedagogy to better cater to the diverseneeds of Computer Science (CS) students. Leveraging existing research and the current LearningAssistants and Graders program at the institution, the study focuses on efficiently andincrementally implementing UTAs in our school's first three programming courses (CS1, CS2,and CS3). The strategy involves undergraduates adopting peer teaching roles in active learningenvironments. The goal is to offer personalized attention in large classes

154ContextThe ROLE program is housed in the Unmanned Systems Laboratory in the Electrical andComputer Engineering Department at New Mexico State University (NMSU). Funded by theNational Science Foundation (NSF) Broadening Participating in Engineering program, ROLEaims to trigger interest in research activities and development in engineering among minorityundergraduate students. The ROLE program has had three student cohorts since its inception inJanuary 2022, with six to eight students in each cohort. During students’ time in ROLE, studentsspend six hours weekly in the laboratory. During the first months in ROLE, students learn aboutLinux OS, Robot Operating System (ROS), Python programming language, as well as how tooperate a motion capture system

classroom in general.The participants in this study indicated that it is important to them that teaching strategiespromote collaboration and discussion in class. Accordingly, Kovarik, Robinson, & Wenzel [19]state that when students engage in collaborative activities, they are more likely to form newfriendships with their classmates, both in lectures and in the laboratory. In turn, this encouragessocialization and can result in students identifying study partners with whom to connect outsideof class time. In addition, collaborative work helps people to practice verbal and writtencommunication skills. All this enhances self-efficacy and sense of belonging. Related to this,participants suggested that the frequency of field activities should be

.” Q24One of the women also studying at the CS who changed her schools mentioned that the moreintellectual the school environment, the more equality it possesses. Other participants of theinterview, who do not have STEM specialists in their family, mentioned an example of howthe schools’ extra-curricular activities, such as laboratory visits and career orientation testswere carried out. One of them even had a chance to talk to a professional in her field on acareer orientation course (Q25). “My school provided professional orientation sessions to help us decide with the field of study.” Q26It is also necessary to highlight university activities as well as representatives of the facultywho help and encourage their students both in academic and
