Abstract
In the era of digital technologies, e-learning has become one of the main pillars of the educational system. This study was conducted with the aim of investigating the relationship between chemical engineering students' attitudes towards e-learning, digital readiness and their active engagement. The present study is descriptive and correlational. The statistical population included all undergraduate chemical engineering students at the University of Tehran (total number: 500), and a sample of 247 people was selected using simple random sampling and the Cochran formula. Data were collected using a questionnaire based on domestic and foreign research literature. The construct validity of the questionnaire was confirmed with the help of confirmatory factor analysis and its reliability was confirmed with Cronbach's alpha and omega coefficients. Data analysis was performed in JASP software using descriptive and inferential statistical methods. The findings showed that students' positive attitude towards e-learning has a positive and significant relationship with their digital readiness and active engagement. The innovation of this research is that it integrates the theoretical frameworks of technology acceptance model and self-determination theory as a comprehensive tool that provides an analysis of the complex interaction between digital skills, intrinsic motivation and the design of e-learning environments
