Resumen: This work presents integral actions towards women in engineering recognition organized according to educational stages they are directed: Stage 1, from early childhood education, primary education and secondary education; Stage 2, during university and Stage 3 after university. At stage 1 actions are devised to increase girl''s interest on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). Emphasis is put on showing women in engineering as role models, illustrating engineers work and stressing the importance of diversity in working groups. Stage 2 is focused on making male and female students aware of the gender gap in engineering and the importance of diversity for innovation and training female students on known female narrow circumstances. Finally, at stage 3, the objective is to retain and promote women in the engineering profession. The specific actions developed at the three stages are presented. Their impact is discussed in order to accomplish effective actions for achieving gender balance towards excellence in Engineering.
