initiated during this design phase, before a product has assumedphysical form. This paper presents the Risk in Early Design (RED) method as thebackbone of the graduate level Function Based Risk Assessment course to teach aninterdisciplinary group of engineers how to use traditional PRA techniques such as failuremodes and effects analysis (FMEA), fault trees, and event trees in conceptual productdesign. The innovative use of specific engineering taxonomies and knowledge-basefailure data representation allows RED to identify product risks armed only with productfunction. Moreover, the engineering taxonomies used in RED drastically reducecommunication issues prevalent in risk assessment due to natural language. REDprovides the students with a database
