By carrying out this work, it was possible to characterize the perspectives of women graduated in Production Engineering from the Federal University of Pampa, to relate the motivations for choosing the segment of activity after graduation and the prerequisites required for insertion and development in this segment. . The objectives of the work were achieved and, as a result, the research question was successfully answered, allowing to deepen the knowledge related to the tenth area of Production Engineering.
