Hello, I am Dr. Changwon Son, an Assistant Professor at Texas Tech University in the Department of Industrial, Manufacturing, & Systems Engineering. I am conducting a study on educational needs for emergency, disaster, and crisis management (EDCM) standards and guidelines. I am looking for engineering students and faculty members who are willing to offer their opinion and experience related to EDCM education at Texas Tech. You will participate in a group discussion with other participants and the discussion will take about 2 hours. The group discussion will be audio-recorded for a further analysis. Your participation is completely voluntary and thus your decision to participate, not to participate, or withdraw from the study will not impact your employment status or academic standing. You will receive a monetary compensation of $50 by participating in this study. You can sign up using the link below.
