Conduct research on the various Methods for Functional Analysis. methods for Functional Analysis in the use of Systems Engineering and Reliability Engineering. Why is it an important step? How does it affect the rest of the system development cycle? What are the pros and cons of each method of a Functional Analysis? What is the big picture goal of a functional analysis? What is Allocation, how is it used?
