Abstract

Engineering is a key discipline in today’s society, as it is sustainability. Therefore, this are concepts that must be introduced in early educational levels. In this context, the project “Acércate a la Ingeniería” (Get closer to Engineering), designed and carried out by the Department of Education of the Government of the Canary Islands in collaboration with the Industrial and Civil Engineering School (EIIC) of the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (ULPGC), has arisen. This project brings together eighteen secondary schools (IES) from five of the eight Canary Islands. The aim of this project is to educate students to prevent their rejection of engineering degrees by the participation in different activities that brings them closer to engineering. Various questionnaires have been carried out in order to measure the impact this experience had on said students, as well as the differences between boys and girls in engineering matters and the satisfaction level of the participating groups. This paper focuses on the results obtained from said questionnaires and their analysis.
