  • Abstract
    In this contribution we discuss the need to analyze the problem of the scarcity of women in electrical engineering studies. We describe an ongoing survey to investigate the factors of gender segregation in this career. It also intends to transfer to classroom measures that encourage the presence of women in electrical engineering.
