Resumen

KLANOVICZ, Luciana Rosar Fornazari  y  OLIVEIRA, Valéria Aparecida Monteiro de. To stay or to give up: women in undergraduate programs in engineering and technology at UTFPR, Guarapuava, Brazil. Avaliação (Campinas) [online]. 2021, vol.26, n.1, pp.137-156. ISSN 1982-5765.  https://doi.org/10.1590/s1414-40772021000100008.

In this article we analyze motivation and institutional problems that force women engaged in Engineering and Technology undergraduate programs to drop out or to stay in the univeristy. We interviewedd undergraduate female students enrolled in Engineering programs at Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná - UTFPR, campus Guarapuava, Brazil, between 2012 and 2019. UTFPR is a locus for gender divisions in academic education that reflect broader access and permanence gender asymmetries in Brazilian university system. To read this phenomenon, we adopted a Gender and Science approach, unerstanding relationships between men and women within power relations and social uses of academic institutions. As a result, we tracked enrollment, stay and dropout data by gender at the institution. The study points to the need for institutional actions to combat gender discrimination, and to develop strategies for female students permanence in undergraduate Engineering and Technology programs.
