, surpassing what autoethnographers can achieve in solitary endeavors [15]. Within CAE, researchers have theflexibility to switch between collaborative group work and individual solo work [15]. Thisalternating approach enriches the collective work by adding depth and texture. During groupsessions, individual voices undergo close examination within the community, benefiting fromothers' questioning and probing, which enhances the personal interrogation process [15].Subsequently, researchers retreat to engage in individual meaning-making, honing theircontributions. The goal of CAE is to move away from the idea that the research and theresearcher(s) are separate, fostering new connections with the research project, and beyond [15]. Hence, CAE

characteristic failure modes began to appear. All high-poweraircraft engines used hollow exhaust valves which were about two thirds filled with sodium.This metal would melt and slosh up and down inside the hollow valve stems and dissipate moreheat up through the valve guides than solid steel valve stems. This practice was proven in thelate 1920's. However, as engines and their valves became larger and rotating speed and combus-tion pressures increased, valve failures became more serious.Cylinder detonation (from whatever cause) stressed these valves and caused them to fail. Theusual failure was that the perimeter weld around the head of the valve would crack and the so-dium would leak out. Then the valve head would turn white hot, which aggravated the

the 2002 NBIA conference in Toronto, Canada2 noted a similar trend in WesternEurope with over 900 business incubators reported, a significant increase since the first reportedincubator in the late 1970’s. Evidence that the business incubator movement is gaininginternational importance was further demonstrated at the NBIA 17th International Conference inJune 20031. Attendees from 35 nations traveled to the Conference and non-US attendeescomprised 37 percent of the conference attendance. During the conference, representatives of 17national incubation associations convened and adopted an international definition of a “businessincubator program”:“A business incubator program is an economic and social development process designed toadvise

The final deliverable of this phase is a student presentation of market research, which includes analysis of the concept vehicle and those of competitors, to determine the strengths (S) and weaknesses (W). The presentation should also identify the needs, wants, and/or problems that drive the target market, in addition to determine the Opportunities (O) and Threats (T).

Detroit, Michigan metro area. Also, LawrenceTech received significant research TARDEC funding in the mid-2000’s for alternative energystorage and power systems in autonomous wheeled robotics. Over the years TARDEC has hadgreat interest in robotic systems development, and continues to communicate this to LawrenceTech.By 2007, as a result of these many related robotic, automation and autonomous vehicledevelopment activities, it became clear to Lawrence Tech faculty that the research, design anddevelopment of robotic related mechanical, electrical, computer and software systems where inmany ways unique, and could not be easily grouped into the traditional and often separate sub-disciplines of mechanical, electrical, computer and software engineering

A deeper understanding ofthe QM experience from the Quality Manager’s perspective can be a step to ensuring an efficientand successful
feedback with respect to an improvement ininnovation and creativity especially whilst problem solving. This spoke to the successof the two main aspects of this project/s; a multidisciplinary collaboration thatintegrated the strengths of an engineering-based education with that of an Arts basededucation, and the use of design thinking to produce outside the box thinkers. Despitea positive participant feedback, there were some areas where the collaborative projectscored low. The development of hands-on skills is one such example. It had an averagerating of 3.5 out of 5, with the lowest ratings coming from the Art and design teammembers who answered the survey questions. This can be easily explained, as thepurpose of this multidisciplinary project
