| Sumario: | On the initial problem the gender gap in enrollment in engineering careers, this paper analyzes the link between masculinity attribution of science and technology, and the perception of symbolic violence in the everyday experience of women trying to study these careers. From testimonies and narrations, I explore the experiences of students to identify assumptions about how the subjects and formed in these areas and should be, as well as the possibilities, capabilities and limitations that are assigned to them, contributing from the empiria to a conceptualization of modes of exclusion and delegitimization that support the formation of a strongly masculinized scene.
