MSOE Product Survey
Do you feel that current visual and tactile alerting systems are meeting
your needs? Are there situations in which you would like improved
notification of emergency situations? We want to hear from you. There
is currently a project being conducted at the Milwaukee School of
Engineering that is looking into ways to better notify d/Deaf and hard
of hearing individuals about common emergency situations. To help them
in their research, they’re asking for your feedback. Please take a
couple of minutes to complete the survey (it’s really short!), and
return via email to: admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, or send to: Lee Miller, MLH
416, 1121 N. Milwaukee, Milwaukee, WI 53202.
The survey can be found at
http://www.wi-deaf.org/images/community/msoe_survey.pdf
You can also email kmalak@xxxxxxxx for an electronic copy of this
survey, or stop by the Center for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing between
