Abstract
The Department of Engineering of Universidad Nacional de Colombia (UNAL) has a rich and complex history, which is inexorably linked to the convulsed history of Colombia. This article seeks to give visibility to the participation and historical contributions of women in the growth and development of the Department of Engineering throughout its 161 years of existence, as well as to recognize their contributions with the names of their protagonists, in order to honor their struggles and achievements in favor of women's rights in the country. This article also shows data and testimonials that reflect the significant gender gaps that still persist in the Department, it characterizes the women who are part of the academic community in their roles as students, professors, researchers, and directors, it lists the actions undertaken as institutional policies for closing gender gaps, and it proposes future measures to be implemented.
