500 Word Descriptive Post

Creating a presentation was very easy for our group. The three of us chose to tackle the subject of writing in a business and technical setting. The first approach we took was to figure out the type of setting that each of us were interested in and we distributed the work load in that way. We found that each of us had slightly different ideas as to what we were hoping to learn from our research on this topic. Patrick Murray had a goal to gain some expertise on how to write in a technical setting. As a mechanical engineering major, Patrick to the approach of looking at what it would take to write reports for a company making snowmobiles. Patrick had a lot of examples ready for situations where it would come in handy to have the skills necessary to write an affective progress report. However, even with all the knowledge on when and where it would be nice to know these things, he still needed to find out how to format and write a report properly. Patrick checked a few different writing formatters in order to make sure that he had information that was accurate and information that would be affective in a technical setting. Gabin Tene is also a mechanical engineering major and was also looking for more information on writing in a technical setting. Since Patrick was going with more of the manufacturing side of engineering, Gabin decided to look at the materials side of engineering. His goal was to learn how to write in a way that would positively affect the ordering of materials. After doing some research Gabin was able to find examples of how to accomplish this goal and found results that he was very pleased with. Since both Patrick and Gabin are much more interested in the technical side of things I was able to focus on my interest which is the business side. I already knew that there are unending applications for learning how to write more affectively in a business setting. MY goal was to learn how and learn what other ways in life that this would benefit me. Through my research I found that it there is not any big secret to writing in a business setting. I found that if you are able to communicate well and keep your language short and to the point, there really is not anything more to be learned. To present our findings, we just split up and did the research and wrote a short essay of what we found. Then we pooled our findings together, trying to make the presentation as organized as possible. We then studied what we found to be sure that we were well versed on the information we had found. After all of this there was only one more thing to do and that was to present the information in a way that was interesting and engaging for the rest of the class.
