An interactive data visualization analysis examining academic performance patterns among 12,411 engineering students in Colombia. While initial performance distributions might suggest gender gaps, this investigation reveals a more complex story of adaptation and resilience. Through four interactive visualizations - performance distributions, adaptation heatmaps, elite achievement analysis, and resilience indices - the study demonstrates that women show remarkable academic growth potential, achieving elite performance at equal rates to men despite apparent initial disparities. The analysis challenges deficit-based narratives about gender in engineering, suggesting that observed differences reflect systemic barriers rather than inherent capabilities. Built using R, ggplot2, and plotly for interactive exploration.
