Engineering analysis
Engineering analysis involves the application of scientific analytic principles and processes to reveal the properties and state of the system, device or mechanism under study. Engineering analysis is decompositional, it proceeds by separating the engineering design into the mechanisms of operation or failure, analysing or estimating each component of the operation or failure mechanism in isolation, and re-combining the components according to basic physical principles and natural laws.[1][2][3][4]

Engineering classes suck and we went over this like a ba-gillion times and I still don't remember so obviously I came to wikipedia because I thought something would be here but apparently not. Want to know why this page has no useful information on it? I know what you're thinking: I, being the delinquent that I appear to be, erased it. I say nay-nay. It is in fact because NO ONE KNOWS WHAT THE HELL IT IS. I HAVE SPENT YEARS IN ENGINEERING CLASSES AND I STILL SOMEHOW ENDED UP HERE SO THANK YOU FOR NOTHING WIKIPEDIA.
