Abstract
The university is considered one of the environments where is not made a difference between males and females. However, when studying the entrance to the agricultural engineering career, it is shown that is scarce the feminine presence, mainly in San Jose de las Lajas, municipalit y of the Mayabeque province, where there is not any woman in the five years of the 2011-2012 academic year. Based on this analysis an investigation is developed to know the vision that the students of the 12 grade of the high school “Raquel Perez” of the aforementioned municipality, have on the women in the agricultural engineering career. The applied techniques reveal attitudes, beliefs, knowledge and practices regarding to the agricultural engineering and also about the profession. In the obtained data are perceived features that since the patriarchal culture has been fitted to being woman, independent from work particularities specialty in which labourly develops. It is considered that it is a necessary and emergent study for the Agrarian University of the Havana,not just as form of fomenting a bigger social commitment in front of this phenomenon,but as useful tool for the vocational orientationand the politicians of equality of opportunities.
