AB  - As Singapore looks for more innovative solutions to overcome its geographical constraints and achieve its futuristic modern aspirations, there is a need to produce skilled individuals to address the pressing needs in the critical disciplines of engineering and computer science. To produce such skilled individuals, there is a need to encourage students, starting at an earlier age, to develop and maintain an interest in engineering and ultimately pursue an engineering career. In addition to the role of educational institutions, parents play a pivotal role in encouraging and influencing their children towards certain career paths. Additionally, parents also play an important role in shaping positive attitudes within their children towards engineering, and their supportive actions towards a child’s engineering education may help to develop the child’s competencies in engineering. Therefore, this current study intends to provide initial empirical evidence of parents’ knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors towards engineering disciplines. Our overarching research questions in this study are: To what extent are parents of Singaporean students from primary to secondary levels aware of engineering? And what are the instrument's psychometric properties employed in terms of reliability and correlation among the latent factors in the context of Singapore? This current study uses an empirically validated instrument, the Parents Engineering Awareness Survey (PEAS), to examine parents’ engineering awareness in their child’s engineering education based on the knowledge, attitude, and belief (KAB) framework. The findings of this study aim to raise awareness of engineering education in the Singaporean context from a parents' perspective, which may have consequences for developing an engineering-informed community.
