Abstract(s)
Worldwide initiatives for promoting motivation in female students for engineering courses are taking place in a regular form. Those initiatives are directed to different age groups and scholar levels. This paper addresses a methodology that was recently developed in Portugal to allow custom actions for motivating female students to those courses that historically rises them less interest. A workshop with different engineering universities and polytechnic institutions from Portugal, Brazil and Mozambique took place allowing to generate a network and a list of proposed actions. From this list each institution selected one or more actions to be implemented in their own institution. The workshop named “Good practices network for motivating female students to engineering courses” was the kick-off for this initiative. Detailed procedure of the work-in-progress and future working plan are here detailed.
