Calibration and More Surveyed by Student Group at VA Tech
The Consulting Group at Virginia Tech, a student organization on Virginia Tech’s campus, spent the spring 2020 semester researching, surveying, and analyzing current trends in United States laboratories. A twelve-question survey was distributed to contacts from laboratories of varying industries, including calibration, manufacturing, medical examiners, environmental, and many more. These contacts were given a one-month timeline to complete the survey, with weekly reminders on Monday mornings.
After a one-month survey launch, CGVT acquired 529 survey responses. These responses were filtered and analyzed via Tableau, a data analysis tool, to identify common trends, pain points, and advances within the industries. This article will touch on the big takeaways from the study.
