You are invited to participate in a research study entitled “Requirement understanding for defense acquisition”. The purpose of the research is to compare participant’s understanding of the requirements based on whether they are presented a model-based or text-based descriptions.

PROCEDURES.

- You will be randomly assigned to either the experimental or control group.

- Next, please take 15 minutes to read through the reference materials.
