Title
Is there a gender difference in Maths competencies achievement between Aerospace Engineering students in Spain?
Abstract
The NSF has recently issued the report on "Women, Minorities, and Persons with Disabilities in Science and Engineering" which provides statistical information about the participation of these three groups in science, engineering education and employment. The percentages in Spain, and particularly in the Technical University of Valencia where almost all degrees are technologically related, are not very different even though there is a general feeling in Spanish society to consider engineering studies to be appealing and with high employability possibilities. In this paper we analyze how they perform inside the university in a highly technological degree as Aerospace Engineering. We present their results corresponding to competencies achievement in each gender group and each topic of these Mathematics subjects.
