Computer science in particular faces a dual problemwith regard to low participation by women: recruiting and retention [5].Even as the factors of race, gender, and family income remain highly relevant for understandinguneven outcomes, an increasing body of research suggests that the problems faced by STEMstudents are much more multifaceted than assumed, particularly when trying to serve low-income, first-generation, and students and those from other historically underrepresented/historically underserved (UR/US) groups in STEM.

As listed by industry and blogger articles, reasons that students dropout of engineering programs include: poor work ethic, inability to deal with failure, and lackingthe engineering mindset [63].

However,despite the growing interest in design thinking, there is a need for a systematic review of theliterature to explore its current state and identify future research trends.
