Blog Assignment #3

       In this post, I will be conducting a brief analysis of my professional memo where I talked about my

company's need of a robot. I actually chose this scenario, because it is related to my field of interest which is

mechanical engineering, so I couldn't find a better scenario to explore my knowledge about robots and their

benefits.  This is a piece chosen from my memo:


On one hand, human worker will cost the company more 50 grants a year excluding bonuses and 

health insurance expenses. Moreover, the technician who will do the job won’t be required to work 

more than 40 hours a week with two weeks off each year during the first five years and three weeks 

after that. In addition, human worker must be trained in the beginning. On the other hand, two 

lifetime arc welding robots will not cost us as much as a technician costs for two years. Furthermore, 

Robots can run for almost all day with preferable breaks.

       In my professional memo, I urged our factory executive managers to think of a robot to do the work 

instead of a human worker, because my research shows that human worker is more expensive and less 

productive than a robot.  



       Before I started writing, I spent few hours doing research on arc welding robots, their efficiency and  

cost. Then, I tried to organize my thoughts by noting ideas and classifying them. Next, I began writing my 

introduction where I explained the situation to the readers. Finally,  I continued writing using the 

information that I collected from my research.

       In fact, this genre of writing was sort of different, because this is the first time I write something that 

professional where I had to defend my thoughts and try to convince the reader about the importance of 

robots in that company.
