- © 2021 IEEE.The number of women in Science, Technology and Engineering programs has been of interests in the last decades. In any country, the topic can include many factors such as low working opportunities, peer pressure and the opportunity to access a high-quality education. In recent years, efforts have been made worldwide to improve the number of women in higher education and particularly, in engineering programs. In this paper we analyze the situation in the Southern Region of Mexico, which according to official data from the Mexican Government, shows the lowest indicators for women participation in higher education. The paper presents a dynamic model construction and simulation that helps understand what is needed to assure a more and equal participation of women in engineering programs of two different campuses of the same university in this region of the country.
