Abstract
This research seeks to describe the proportionality of women graduated from the Professional Career of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, analyzing their academic performance and the field of work action in which they are working. This study was done with the purpose of highlighting academic performance, and encouraging women to continue with this career, eliminating the myth that Mechanical and Electrical Engineering is not for women; In addition, this study will be a source of information for the National Technological University of Lima Sur, since, with this, action plans can be generated to increase the number of women entering in the coming years. Once the research has been carried out, it is concluded that the percentage of women who graduate in relation to the percentage of men, per academic semester 2012-II to 2018-II, is equal to 8.1%. Likewise, the weighted average of the academic performance of women graduated in the professional career of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, is 12.98, this represents a high average for the career; so it can be indicated that the 38 women graduated, have had a good academic performance. Finally, it is concluded that there is a high Spearman ratio of 0.822 between the weighted average by specialty with the field of labor action; These results agree with what has been indicated in relation to the fact that there is a higher qualification in the specialty of Mechanics (AM) with a weighted average range of subjects from 11.73 to 15.42, and according to professional practice reports, of the 38 women graduated from the Mechanical and Electrical Engineering career, 25 are working in the field of Mechanical specialty. With these results it can be said that although the percentage of women linked to this career is still low; Women in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering have a good academic development, which is why women should continue to be encouraged to be included in the area of science, technology and innovation.
