Brazil Undergraduate Education

Overall, the number of students enrolled and graduating from undergraduate programs in Brazil has increased from 2018 to 2020. Women represent about 58% of students enrolled in undergraduate programs and about 60% of students who graduate from these programs. Within engineering (referred to in Brazil’s reports as “production and construction engineering”), the number of admitted, enrolled, and graduated students has decreased over time. In 2019, women comprised less than 35% of students enrolled in civil engineering (30.2%) and production engineering (33.7%), and their representation is much lower among those enrolled in mechanical engineering (10.1%). Additionally, they were similarly under-represented among those who graduated in civil engineering (30.8%) and production engineering (35.2%) in 2016.
