The number of the study sample was (269) male and female students from Minia University; They were divided into two groups, the first group (104) male students and the second (165) female students. The tool of the current study was applied to them to measure academic engagement - prepared by the researcher - in which academic engagement consists of five dimensions: commitment, cognitive processing, flow, positivity, and the development of self-skills. Using appropriate statistical methods, the results of the study were reached. The results of the study showed that there were no gender-related differences in academic engagement as a total degree and in its dimensions, except for the females. The results of the study also showed that the average level of academic engagement represents the majority of the study sample of university students; As most university students have medium degrees of ability to link old information with new information in their academic major, process study information in depth, and organize their information into integrated knowledge structures. The majority of university students have average abilities to develop themselves, correct their failures, isolate distracted ideas from their immersion in their studies, participate in group study assignments, and volunteer to help their colleagues in solving some of the problems they face in their studies.
