Despite the implementation ofmany policies to reduce the gender gap, the difference in the rate of women and men in the fieldof engineering, especially in Middle Eastern countries, remains significant. These differences canalso have negative effects on scientific and technological progress [12]. The “credentialsequilibrium” described by Salehi-Isfahani [13] refers to a system in which educationalqualifications in the Middle East were primarily aimed at securing public sector jobs rather thanfostering broader economic productivity. This factor has led to high youth unemployment andinefficient use of educational
