Technology remains a fundamental aspect of contemporary life, yet software engineering still struggles to reflect the diversity of our modern society. The evident lack of diversity and inclusivity within the software industry is rooted in the limited representation of diverse backgrounds within software engineering academic settings— a scenario that contradicts the history of software engineering, highlighted by exceptional scientists from marginalized groups whose groundbreaking contributions advanced technology significantly. While recent studies underscore that women, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and Black students frequently experience unwelcoming environments in software engineering courses, improving awareness about these illustrious figures might help students draw motivation and inspiration from their remarkable achievements. This study presents findings from a global survey among software engineering undergraduates to explore their familiarity with distinguished scientists from underrepresented groups within the field. Our findings demonstrate that students have limited knowledge of scientists from underrepresented groups and their contributions to the field, emphasizing the need to enhance diversity awareness and create inclusive educational strategies that amplify the representation of historically marginalized groups in software engineering.
