The gender gap is a problem that affects all areas
and regions in the world. The lack of females depends on
different external and internal factors that make it a complex
problem. In particular, this gap is most pronounced in
engineering. Engineering and technical studies have a shortage
of female vocations and a high dropout rate. In this paper, we
present the pilot peer-mentoring programme, which has been
carried out in the 2020-21 academic year at the University of
Salamanca in the Higher Polytechnic School of Zamora.
Mentoring has been given to first-year female students of
engineering degrees. The implementation of the pilot
programme has provided helpful information for implementing
the mentoring programme from the 2021-22 academic year.
