Document Summary
Encs 282 assignment sheet 1: long mechanism description. The purpose of this assignment is to develop skills in presenting technical information in an organized manner. Mechanism descriptions are an important component of the writing you will do on a regular basis as an engineer. They require you to observe an object closely and determine the best way to describe it. The information contained in a description should be verifiable. Titles of technical descriptions must be clear and limiting, and the format must conform to designated standards. A mechanism is an apparatus or device that has several identifiable parts that function together as a system. This kind of description emphasizes physical characteristics and is written in precise, specific, and technically accurate terms. You can choose any mechanism suitable to your intended audience. Possible choices exploration technology (robots; remote sensors; exotic propulsion systems); fictional mechanisms (the death star weapon system, robocop), etc. etc. etc.
