Engineering Tech Study

Engineering Tech Study - $400 compensation

On September 25 and 26, we will conduct an Online Community study (in English) on standards & norms (i.e. ISO).

We are providing a $400 compensation for successful completion of the study.

We are doing this project in the UK, France and Germany.

More info:

The Online Discussion would take place over 2 days during the week of September 24. We would require that you spend at least 20-30 minutes on an online platform on the first day and at least 15 minutes on the second day. Participants must log into the platform on both days. The written responses must be detailed (no short sentences, slang, or unclear responses). If you qualify, participate in and complete the 2-day discussion, you will be provided with a $400 USD compensation. The research project focuses on your attitudes and opinions, and is for research-purposes.

We would first like to see if you qualify to participate in the study. To qualify for this study, please fill in this online pre-screening survey.
