Abstract
Within higher education, integrating gender perspectives into teaching is crucial for inclusivity and addressing gender disparities. This article presents a guideline from the "Xarxa Vives Guides, " a resource offering educators strategies for incorporating gender considerations across disciplines. In particular, the civil engineering guideline contains general and specific actions aimed at creating a more inclusive learning environment. General recommendations focus on teaching methods, classroom dynamics, assessment, and content. The emphasis is on using diverse methods, promoting respectful dialogue, and employing fair assessments. Additionally, course content should integrate the contributions of underrepresented groups and address gender-related issues within civil engineering. The guideline delves into specific recommendations for various subject areas within civil engineering education. Examples illustrate how to integrate gender perspectives, from considering gendered needs in water access projects to incorporating them into transportation planning. Finally, the chapter presented in this article explores fostering research with a gender lens. This includes supporting students in conducting gender-sensitive research projects and integrating gender considerations throughout the research cycle. By following these recommendations, civil engineering educators can empower students to challenge gender inequalities and contribute to a more equitable and inclusive profession.
