Hughes, Ph.D The Boeing Company University-industry partnerships are far from the ideal that the name might imply.Although most of these collaborations technically meet the definition of partnerships bybeing associations which have joint interests and benefits, the benefits to the participatingparties are usually not equal because of a fundamental weakness in the way that the vastmajority of these partnerships are set up. The principal weakness (e.g. the Achilles heel)of university-industry partnerships is that the basis of the terms and conditions for mostof these relationships

This was the main reason behind alternating thestudy years between the institutions.
