The participents were 242 male and female Students from Suez Canal University completed academic engagement scale (Schaufeli, Salanova, Gonzalez-Rom, & Pakker, 2002), digital readiness scale (Kim & Hong, 2018) and Attitude towards e-learning scale (prepared by researcher). The results showed that two factors model of attitude towards elaearning which hypothesised in Technology Acceptence Model (TAM). The results of path analysis showed that hypothesis model showed goodness fit indices for collected data, and there are many significant causal effects among digital readiness, attitude towards e-learning and academic engagement, and there is a signficant mediating role of attitude towards e-learning in the relationship between digital readiness and academic engagement. Some recommendations were introduced depending on the obtained results.
