Attraction and retention of women in STEM careers
Historically, women have been underrepresented in the fields of engineering and science. In the US, the percentage of bachelor's degrees awarded to women in 2019 ranged from 52% (Environmental Engineering) to 13% (Computer Engineering). In the same year, the percentage of professional degrees awarded to women in Chile ranged from 55% (Environmental Engineering to 8% (Computer Engineering). Although the proportion of women has increased over time, gender disparities in engineering still remain. Given the interest in achieving greater participation of women, different types of efforts have been invested to attract women to engineering. This research seeks to understand the reason for these differences, examining initiatives to attract and retain students This will involve reviewing the literature and contributing to the design and implementation of mixed methodologies (quali / quanti), collaborating with the DRS and the DEI.
