Summary "For students and designers that are unfamiliar with the formality of the functional modeling process (terms, structure, etc.), product and system modeling has proven to be a difficult task. This is due to the component-based methodologies that are normally utilized for the conceptual design stage. To assist these novice designers, a visual template tool that links the functional basis with the component taxonomy has been developed and is presented and discussed in this thesis"--Abstract, leaf iv.
