Matilda is a joint initiative of the Colombian Association of Engineering Schools ACOFI, the Federal Council of Deans of Engineering CONFEDI and LACCEI. These Latin American organizations are proud to announce “Matilda and Women in Engineering in Latin America 3.”
In this book different experiences and life stories of women engineers and STEM professionals converge and intermingle, with the same purpose: to make known part of the past, making visible some realities and proposing action as the only possibility to aspire to a promising tomorrow that we all wish for.
Stories of good memories and – others not so much, that highlight strategies and suggestions for action, with strong and firm convictions and recommendations that invite more young women to fulfill their vocation and join STEM.
In this third edition, 42 articles are published, with 46 authors from 6 Latin American countries. Each article reveals aspects and experiences that coincide with the objectives of the Matilda Latin American Open Chair and Women in Engineering.
With this book we continue furrowing Latin America hand-in-hand with Matilda, showing that women can develop and grow in engineering. These stories prove it.
