"Meninos vestem azul, meninas vestem rosa”: análise da inserção feminina em cursos de engenharia da Unipampa - campus Bagé

Abstract

This research was carried out in the Postgraduate Program in Teaching at the Universidade Federal do Pampa - Campus Bagé, specifically in research line 1: Plural, innovative and inclusive epistemological and pedagogical perspectives. The theme addressed was: women in higher education, their perspectives, the impacts of everyday life and the Social Question on the training process of female students in the context of engineering education. The general objective is to analyze how everyday narratives and social and economic aspects influence the education of women in the context of engineering education at Unipampa. Methodologically, the research is exploratory and qualitative in nature. Bibliographical and documentary research was also used. The locus is the Federal University of Pampa - Unipampa, specifically the Bagé-RS Campus, and its subjects are female students from the Food Engineering, Computer Engineering, Energy Engineering, Production Engineering and Chemical Engineering courses. Data was collected using an electronic questionnaire, consisting of nine sections with closed and open questions. The analysis was conducted to address three subsections of results: the student profile, private daily life, and university daily life. In this way, it is possible to infer that the daily life - both private and academic - in which the students are immersed are spaces for the reproduction and production of discourses that permeate the narrative of engineering and related professions. More than that, everyday life is an important factor in academic performance.
