Jameelah; If the company is mainly an engineering organization, I suggest determining how they practice the public-safety-is-paramount-provision which is in essentially all of the many engineering codes of ethics. After the two Boeing 737 MAX 8 crashes in 2018 and 2019 that caused 346 deaths, ...

Chad: Your first question seems to ask: how can we be even more creative and innovative? Is that your intent? If so, one way is to realize that creative and innovation ability is much more a matter of nurture, than nature. Some say he/she is so creative -- must have been born that way. On the ...
