Abstract
Gender equality is one of the major goals in the social development of XXI century. In this work we analyzed the role of gender in the adoption of college studies focused on scientific and technical fields, with emphasis on engineering studies. As is apparent, it is necessary to continue to promote such studies in order to achieve those objectives of equality. An ongoing survey is described to investigate the factors of gender segregation in this career. It is also proposed to transfer to the classroom measures that encourage the presence of women in electrical engineering.
