Sumario:The origin of Civil Engineering can be found in Military Engineering, to which construction was linked for many years due to issues of defense and strategy. This fact has conditioned a clearly masculinized discipline from the beginning. The Guide of Civil Engineering to mainstreaming gender in university teaching offers proposals, examples of good practices, teaching resources and consultation tools that allow, on the one hand, to transform teaching so that it is meaningful and relevant also for women and, on the other hand, that the technical knowledge acquired be transferred to society without reproducing or increasing gender inequalities.
