Abstract/Description:
Promoting diversity in STEM fields is essential to fostering innovation and addressing global challenges. Despite extensive efforts, the representation of minority groups, including women, in undergraduate computer science and engineering programs remains low, posing significant barriers to equity and inclusivity in STEM education (Nicole & DeBoer, 2020). This systematic review explores the socio-economic and cultural challenges discouraging minority students from pursuing degrees, specifically computer science and engineering disciplines. A comprehensive literature search was conducted across databases such as IEEE Xplore, Google Scholar, and Scopus using specific search terms. Studies were chosen based on clear inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data was carefully extracted and analyzed, focusing on primary obstacles such as the scarcity of role models, biases, and educational barriers. To evaluate the quality of the studies included in the review, Covidence’s quality assessment tools were used, ensuring methodological rigor and consistency across the studies.
