]. In the Arab world, which comprises 22 countries in the Middle East and North Africa andhas a population of over 444 million, women make up approximately half of the population [8],[9]. However, Arab women continue encountering challenges in STEM fields, particularly inengineering. According to UNESCO and the World Bank, as well as a study by Islam (2019), Arabwomen now enroll in STEM fields at high rates, with an average enrollment rate of 34-57% [1],[10], [11]. Figure 2 shows how the percentage of women who graduated from STEM varies amongArab countries. While some countries have high rates in the engineering field, others, such as SaudiArabia, have low rates. In contrast to other STEM fields, Arab women are less likely to engage in

For more than a generation, studies have shownreligiously engaged individuals to be more civically engaged (Wuthnow, 1999; Lewis, Mcgregor &Putnum, 2013; Rockenbach, 2020). This characteristic may directly relate to women from religiouscommunities finding more meaning in careers such as engineering as they relate to contributions tobroader society.Women are less prominent in engineering fields than men (Pawley 2019).

Peer-led activities have been shown to create a sense of community and increase retention of minority students [18]. Building a supportive network can enhance the academic success of these students.The findings from these initiatives will be reported at a future ASEE conference.Work Cited[1] C. Botella, S.
