Fernandez-Arias, Pablo; Anton-Sancho, Alvaro; Barrientos-Fernandez, Amelia; Vergara-Rodriguez, Diego – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2023
The importance of soft skills in the professional work of an engineer is becoming increasingly important, even more so since the emergence of COVID-19 boosted the digitization of all professional sectors. In order for future engineers to acquire this type of skills, it is necessary for engineering professors to have an optimal level of technical…

Dutta, Nikita S.; Arnold, Craig B. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2022
Contribution: This work sheds light on how classmate behaviors influence gender gaps in verbal participation in lecture-based engineering classes. It is found that after a woman participates in class, there is a temporarily increased likelihood a woman will participate again afterward. Background: Women continue to be underrepresented in STEM…

Olmedo-Torre, Noelia; Sanchez Carracedo, Fermin; Salan Ballesteros, M. Nuria; Lopez, David; Perez-Poch, Antoni; Lopez-Beltran, Mireia – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2018
Contribution: Stereotypes and immediate environment are the reasons for low enrollment of women in STEM studies. Background: The low number of women in STEM degree courses has been the subject of much research, which has found that the lack of female enrollment is not evenly distributed across all STEM studies. In some areas, such as computing,…

Molina-Gaudo, Pilar; Baldassarri, S.; Villarroya-Gaudo, M.; Cerezo, E. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2010
This paper explores both how male and female high school pupils (15-16 years old) perceive the engineering profession and their willingness to pursue a career in this area. A study was performed around a one-day outreach activity, Girls' Day, organized for the first time in Spain. During Girls' Day, students were exposed to specific activities…
