You’ve got a job that requires you to recommend a course of action. You need to describe the alternatives, make a recommendation, and support it. Think carefully about the details of the situation (do some research). Remember, you are relatively new to the job, so People might not immediately accept your conclusions. Present the alternatives in writing and graphically. Explain persuasively why your recommendation is the best choice, but realize that others may come to a different conclusion. This is an internal report: Use memo format and style.
The recommendation topic is as follows:
Your engineering firm is finalizing plans for a new one-story, 7,000 foot headquarters in San Antonio, Texas. You are in charge of choosing an air conditioning system. Compare various vendors and systems (manufacturers) on features, suitability, quality, price, and any other appropriate factors, and offer your recommendation and supporting detail and arguments in a memo that reviews possible solutions.
