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
Select which tread design will be best
Research the properties of rubber
See which tire is the most expensive
1. Rob and his team have been chosen to build a wind turbine at a local ski resort that needs to generate electrical energy and withstand the harsh environment of the mountains. Rob and his team have done their research on the problem. What would be the next step for the team?
Create a prototype of the wind turbine
Develop possible solutions(s) for the turbine and how it will fit the criteria needed
Test the wind turbine on the mountains during the harsh winter months
Redesign a new solution for this turbine
