Algunos juguetes sufrieron transformaciones por curiosidad\u201d, un rasgo de Mar\u00eda Jes\u00fas que su familia siempre celebr\u00f3 y foment\u00f3. <\/p>\n Fortunately, the same openness that she experienced within her family, she has seen in engineering, where she says that “a wide range of possibilities opens up, from management, development, implementation of tools and projects”, adds Mar\u00eda Jes\u00fas.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_orientation=”left” global_colors_info=”{}”]Both engineers say that they have felt integrated in the work teams they have been in, either because there have been no gender distinctions in them, or because they were made up of many female colleagues.

A very different case from health or humanities careers, where there is a greater focus on soft skills.<\/p>\n “It is unfortunate that many girls are deprived of studying and exploring these fields. It is essential to remind them that we are all capable of performing in a variety of ways. It is perfectly possible for a person to be interested in caring for others and, at the same time, want to learn about the behavior of nature and the material world,” Fabiola explains.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/alma.loadingediciones.cl\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Imagen-de-WhatsApp-2023-03-28-a-las-00.12.07-1-e1687984585808.jpg” title_text=”Imagen de WhatsApp 2023-03-28 a las 00.12.07 (1)” _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,2_3″ _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/alma.loadingediciones.cl\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/20220628_125711-1-scaled-e1687984449518.jpg” title_text=”20220628_125711 (1)” _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_orientation=”left” global_colors_info=”{}”]In this way, each has developed her own vision of the role of women in engineering. “We can bring a different vision and perspective to problems, and to the collaboration between people and teams,” assures Mar\u00eda Jes\u00fas.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_4,1_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_orientation=”left” global_colors_info=”{}”]While Fabiola does not believe in roles or labels. “I don’t think there should be a designated role for us.
