Engaging Students from Under-Represented Groups to Pursue Graduate School in Computer Science and Engineering
Published in SIGCSE Technical Symposium 2025, 2024
To address the lack of diversity in Computer Science and Engineering (CS&E), we held a one-day workshop at a Hispanic-Serving Institution, featuring research presentations, hands-on demos, and discussions with graduate students. The event successfully increased participant interest in graduate studies, with survey results showing significant boosts in enthusiasm for CS&E research and graduate education, highlighting the potential of such events to broaden diversity in the field.
