AFIM
AFIM was founded in 1990 by a group of female students from the Mechanical Engineering Department, creating a safe space for their fellow female companions while promoting their field to other women.
Mission and Vision
Our mission and vision have remained consistent for years: to encourage minority groups to pursue careers in mechanical engineering, challenge gender stereotypes, and cultivate a safer and more welcoming environment for future female engineers, ultimately motivating more women to join the field.

Our Story
The Association of Females in Mechanical Engineering, AFIM by its Spanish abbreviation, was established in order to encourage a minority group into the mechanical engineering field. Likewise, to diminish and eventually eradicate gender stereotypes and provide to the contemporary society a more integrated team of young industrialists willing to develop a positive change. AFIM’s basic purpose is to excel in developing strategies in order to unite mechanical engineers into becoming elements of transformation and to promote technical and humanitarian advancement.
