Figure 4. Knowledge of scientists (males) of the History of Physics (in number of students) in the different Degrees of Engineering (UCA) It can be seen in Figure 4 how the most cited scientist is Einstein, while in regard to facts in the History of Physics, as can be seen in Figure 3, Newton's gravitational force is the most named fact. However, in terms of the knowledge of male subjects in the History of Physics by the students, Newton ranks second.

Figure 2. Left. List of men and women scientists and engineers. Right. Image of the posters in the exhibition. After confirming that the students did not know many relevant facts in History of Physics or many scientists (especially women), we decided to continue with other activities. Thus, we searched in the UCA library and on the internet bibliographic material about men and women relevant in the world of Science, Physics and Engineering throughout History. Next, we select a series of great scientists or engineers from Ancient Greece to the present day. We delve into the biographies and contributions of he selected scientists or engineers and then expose them to the students in class. In the classes, the biographies and contributions of the selected men and women were explained, in accordance with the course syllabus. In addition, all the teaching material developed was made available to the students in he virtual campus of the subject of Physics Il.

Figure 3. Knowledge of facts of History of Physics (according to the number of students) in the Degrees of Engineering (UCA) Specifically, as far as the knowledge of male scientists of the History of Physics is concerned in the different Degrees, limiting ourselves to the four most cited to compare between Degrees, we have that, in the GIA, 62 students said they knew scientists and / or male engineers, and of these, the most known are: Einstein (44 students indicated their name), followed by Newton (indicated by 37 students). The third place in the degree of knowledge of students and very long distance, Tesla (cited by 8 students) and Stephen Hawking (8 students again). In the GIE, 50 students responded to meet male scientists or engineers, and among those cited, Einstein again occupied the first place (24

Figure 5. Knowledge of female scientists in the History of Physics (in number of students) in the Engineering Degrees (UCA) In any case, if we compare the results contained in figure 4 and figure 5 we can affirm that, in the students, the knowledge of male scientists and engineers is distributed, while all the knowledge o' women scientists focuses on Marie Curie.
