The Engineering Design Process

Why is it important that multiple people be included in the

brainstorming process?

• More ideas are uncovered

• Different backgrounds will allow for different ideas to take shape

• It creates ownership of all members on a team

• All of the above

1. A tire company is creating a new tire for a motorcycle to drive off-road in sandy and rocky conditions as well as on roads. Engineers developed three different tread patterns. Based on the engineering design process, the next step the company should take is to:

• Send out a questionnaire about tires to the public

• Test which tread design will be best

• Research the properties of rubber

• See which tire is the most expensive
