My mistake, CS is in the school of engineering at my institution. My point stands. A social science researcher is better equipped to run this study than an engineering researcher. > My EE profs at Illinois were capable to run studies and they understand the rigors of the domain which a psychologist would not understand. This is silly. Switch EE and Psychology and you can say the same thing. "EE faculty on average don't understand the human elements and how to control for them well enough to run the study." > The study is in a very emotional area and the findings get lots of publicity advancing careers but making it more likely the results are biased. All of academia. Let's break out of the "STEM faculty can do everyone else's jobs better than them" mentality. It is hurting our field.
