MULTIPLIERS: A STRATEGY FOR PROMOTING THE SYSTEMS ENGINEERING PROGRAM IN INDIGENOUS AND MIGRANT COMMUNITIES

Main Article Content
Abstract
One of the great challenges of education in systems is to achieve a greater diversity of students, in this case both indigenous and migrant students. Although the literature reports a large number of projects focused on promoting STEM programs among women, motivation in indigenous and migrant communities has not yet been sufficiently addressed. Therefore, it is important to propose the strategy of multipliers as a basis for promoting indigenous and migrant students to be motivated to enroll in a career in systems engineering. The multiplier strategy is understood as the integral accompaniment provided by a mentor leader. Ideally, the multiplier should be from the same culture as the person being supported, although the possibility that a multiplier leader from another environment could perform this task is not ruled out. It is concluded that the strategy of multipliers is a way to help indigenous and migrant students to study systems engineering and, together with this, to reach a greater diversity of students in the program, who in turn become new multipliers in their communities.
