In addition, they can inform the developmentof policies and programs that offer equal opportunities for women worldwide.Recommendations: Improving the representation of Arab women in engineering is crucial for achieving a morediverse and inclusive STEM workforce. To achieve this goal, we recommend the followingstrategies: 1. Education and Awareness: • Raise society's awareness about the vital role of women in engineering and educate the next generation about it. • Offer quality education and training programs that challenge negative gender stereotypes. 2. Encouragement, Support, and Mentorship: • Assist women in pursuing engineering careers by receiving support from their

— primarily those that legitimize, but in somecases, also those that resist engineering culture, echoing Hatmaker’s findings that the burdenprimarily falls to women to either adapt to a hostile environment, or change it [19]. Chachra’swork looked at engineering identity development in undergraduate programs as a key predictorof students’ decisions to pursue and persist in engineering. They found female and male studentsidentified with engineering to a similar degree, but identified different skills as being mostimportant to engineering design [20]. The difference in identification with engineering skillssuggests that social structures produce gendered norms that differentially shape the professionalidentity of men, women, and non-binary students

For example, in a private Chilean university (wherethe study was performed) women undergraduate students pursuing a degree in ConstructionEngineering (CE) represent about 10% of the student body. While the level of participation ofwomen has increased over time, we can see a need for action to close this gender gap [4].
