Business Report Writing Procedure

Need an idea on what to write about.?

ok well i have an assignment due for english which is supposed to be written in memo format ( basically a business letter style thing) its suposed to be 2 pages.

Write a short informal report to your supervisor about a problem thathas come up in an experiment, project, procedure, ect. Describe the problem and give two possible ways of solving it. Your report is supposed to contain technical information presented in a user-friendly manner.

This class is an engineering english class so ideas should be quite technical...


The key to doing well in Technical Writing for Engineers is not to pick a worthwile topic to write about, but pick something so obvious and easy that your instructor (likely an English Teacher, not an engineer) won't have that much to complain about.

It always helps if you can make your problem have an ethical delemma component too, then always make the ethical choice in your recommendation on what action to take.

For example:

You are the lead engineer with three other engineers working under your direction (You gots Leadership Skills!) on a project. The project is nearing completion and you have worked long and hard to be within the schedule and under budget. Then during product testing someone discovers a major safety flaw in you product. (Make it sound as Dramatic as possible.) Now, your choices are to either recall the defective products in the field with great expense to your company and reputation as a designer, or to analyze the risk of failure and injury, and advise your company's legal team to start looking into this matter. Do a cost-benefit analysis of each option, yata yata yata, then decide to recall the defective units.

If your memo is well written, you'll get an A.




But seriously, I had to take Technical Writing for Engineers 4 times because I kept trying to choose what I thought were worthwile and meaningful things to write about. I made the assignments so hard that I couldn't do them. Don't fall into the same trap as I did. Just pick some dumb little thing, complete your assignment on time, and get on with the important parts of your education. Can you say busy-work?
