Resumen
Numerosas investigaciones han reportado que las mujeres experimentan dificultades para elegir carreras de ingeniería, obstáculos que continúan durante sus estudios. El presente artículo explora discursos de estudiantes y académicos de una carrera de pregrado de ingeniería en Chile sobre la inclusión de mujeres en ella. Se utilizaron entrevistas grupales e individuales para analizar las formas en que estos actores construyen la experiencia de las estudiantes y la influencia del género. Los resultados indican que mientras las mujeres levantan discursos de género, sus docentes sostienen discursos de neutralidad, invisibilizando o minimizando desafíos para las mujeres. Se discuten consecuencias que pueden tener ambas posiciones para la inclusión de las mujeres en las carreras de ingeniería.
