The Technical Description project was a very interesting project for me. Personally I am a very business oriented person so this project pushed me to further my knowledge in product explanation. While writing the paper I noticed that I was introducing new ideas without explaining where they were coming from or how they were derived. This is not a good skill that I have because without explaining more in depth to a customer they will be left with many unnecessary questions that would’ve been otherwise answered.

What motivated me to complete the technical description was the pleasure I felt from bettering myself in a field that I am very interested in. This project merged business and engineering in a way that I have never done before. It expanded my knowledge of both fields while helping me refine my writing techniques.

My goal for writing this technical description was to describe the product so thoroughly that the user would be able to fully understand all the components inside of their product.

The intended audience for this paper is the general consumer. This paper was written in a way which allows somebody with minimal knowledge of engineering to be able to understand how each component works with each other.

The relationship I have with this field is my past of being an extreme sports athlete. I used to completely build and repair skateboards, scooters and many other products that utilized ball bearings.

This assignment has helped me have a deeper understanding of how exactly ball bearings work as well as teaching me skills that I will use as an inventor and entrepreneur.
