%X Resumen (en_US) In recent times women have been making their way into engineering, one of the most booming fields internationally. However, women enrollment in these careers in Mexico has grown slowly, only about 30 % of the total student population enrolled in an engineering related program are women. For the purposes of this research, a survey was applied to the students of three universities in the northwest region of Mexico confirmed a STEAM network aiming to promote enrollment, retention and gender equality on STEM careers, in order to present the outcome about their motivation for this career choice. As well as the future performance model of female students enrolled in engineering degrees. Findings have shown that there is no female model to follow, so it is proposed to include a Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) model in the Schools of Engineering to increase preference and enrollment of women in this area of knowledge. Resumen (es_ES) En los 迆ltimos tiempos, las mujeres se han estado abriendo camino hacia la ingenier赤a, uno de los campos m芍s florecientes a nivel internacional. Sin embargo, la inscripci車n de mujeres en estas carreras en M谷xico ha crecido lentamente, solo alrededor del 30% de la poblaci車n estudiantil inscrita en un programa relacionado con la ingenier赤a son mujeres. Para los fines de esta investigaci車n, se aplic車 una encuesta a los estudiantes de tres universidades de la regi車n noroeste de M谷xico conformando una red STEAM con el objetivo de promover la inscripci車n, la retenci車n y la igualdad de g谷nero en las carreras STEM, con el fin de presentar el resultado sobre su motivaci車n para esta elecci車n de carrera. Adem芍s del futuro modelo de desempeˋo de las alumnas matriculadas en carreras de ingenier赤a. Los hallazgos han demostrado que no hay un modelo femenino a seguir, por lo que se propone incluir un modelo de Ciencia, Tecnolog赤a, Ingenier赤a, Artes y Matem芍ticas (STEAM) en las escuelas de ingenier赤a para aumentar la preferencia y la inscripci車n de mujeres en esta 芍rea de conocimiento
