ABSTRACT:
Gender inequality in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) remains a significant challenge in academia and society, rooted in historical and sociocultural factors that have limited women’s participation in these fields. The underrepresentation of women in STEM is often associated with a lack of family, school, and social encouragement, as well as persistent gender stereotypes. Promoting gender equity and increasing female representation in engineering are essential for scientific and technological development grounded in diversity and inclusion, since diverse teams foster broader and more innovative advances. In this context, the extension project Elas - Mulheres na Engenharia, developed at Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná (UTFPR), aims to encourage women’s participation in engineering, contributing to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 5 (SDG 5) of the United Nations 2030 Agenda, which promotes gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls. The project’s actions include theoretical and practical training, educational content production, interviews and lectures with women engineers, participation in academic events, and campus visits for high school students. Activities such as the Engineering Geology workshop introduce minerals, rocks, soils, granulometry, and permeability, fostering interest in geotechnics. The project strengthens inclusion and encourages engineering as a career choice.
