Experience in the creation of the JUMI Community: Achievement after two years
Abstract
The linkage of women to university contexts in science and technology areas is an issue of concern to different actors in the educational environment. This concern is due to the low participation of women in STEM areas despite the initiatives led by governmental and private entities. The objective of this paper is to present the experience in the creation of the JUMI community (Youth of Women in Science and engineering), an initiative of the Faculty of engineering of the University of Medellin to strengthen the female involvement of students in engineering programs, especially in systems engineering, the program that leads the community. This article describes the activities carried out by JUMI, the public impact, the adaptations according to the needs identified, and the partial results obtained. © 2023 Copyright for this paper by its authors.
