About Requirements Management Training

Posted on by

Although this training is not mandatory, it is one of the most important training item in the systems engineering area.

Statistics show that 55% of project failures are due to requirements. Some requirements may have missing information, some are poorly written to understand how they may objectively be tested, or some might include other issues.

The problems in the requirements are usually detected at the end of the project, in testing phase, which may cause your project end unsuccessfuly.

Visit our training programs on systems engineering and testing. Understanding what failures you might face to are explained!

About Trainer:

Training is provided by Dr Ismail Cicek with several assistance from personnel experienced in MIL-STD-810 testing.

Dr. Cicek studied PhD in Mechanical Engineering Department at Texas Tech University in Texas, USA. He study included random vibration. He has both industrial and academic experience for over 30 years.

He gained engineering and leadership experience in the United States Department of Defence projects and programs as systems development engineer about 15 years. He led the development of various engineering systems for platforms including C-5, C-17, KC-10, KC-135, and C-130 E/H/J.  Dr. Cicek’s experience includes unmanned aerial vehicle development where he utilized the Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and Malfunction Data Recorder Analysis Recorder System (MADARS) development for military transport aircraft.

Dr Cicek worked as the lab chief engineer for five years at the US Air Force Aeromedical Test Lab at WPAFB/OH. He received many important awards at the positions he served, due to the excellent team-work and his detail oriented and energetic personality.  These included Terra Health’s Superior Client Award in 2009 and Engineering Excellence Award in 2010 as well as an appreciation letter from the US Air Force Aeronautical Systems Center (ASC), signed by the commander in charge.

Dr Cicek also established a test lab, called Marine Equipment Test Center (METC) and located at Istanbul Technical University, Tuzla Campus, for testing of equipment per military and civilian standards, such as RTCA-DO-160. Providing engineering, consultancy, and training services to many companies and organizations, Dr. Cicek has gained a great insight into the tailoring of standard test methods in accordance with military standards, guides, and handbooks as well as Life Cycle Environmental Profile LCEP) developed for the equipment under test.

Dr. Cicek also completed various product and research projects, funded in the USA, EU, and Turkey. He is currently teaching at Istanbul Technical University Maritime Faculty, Tuzla/Istanbul. He also manages the Marine Equipment Test Center in Tuzla Campus.

This short training on MIL-STD-810H testing class will provide education in the purpose of each test (with emphasis on CONOPS and LCEP documents), the following:

  • Equipment required to perform
  • Selection of procedures
  • Correctly identifying test conditions
  • Test durations
  • The methodology to correctly apply the specified test environments

Vibration test methods will be covered in detail with fundamental topics, such as sine, random, sine on random, dwell, and sweep testing. The trainer of the class has Ph.D. in mechanical engineering with PhD thesis study on random vibrations and he served in several test laboratories gaining hand on practice on military and aviation standards over the years.

Shock and acceleration testing will be covered using MIL-STD-810 and additional material to cover the methods and selection of tests. Dr. Cicek has developed acceleration test process at US Air Force laboratory for certifying certain products per military standards for in-service use.

training in MIL-STD-810H is essential to grasp the methodologies for environmental testing and the Life Cycle Environmental Profile (LCEP). Understanding the Mission Profile is equally vital, as it outlines the expected operating conditions a system will encounter, forming the basis for relevant environmental tests. Alongside environmental testing, electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) are critical to ensuring that systems can operate without unwanted interference. Training on MIL-STD-461G and MIL-STD-464D Platform Requirements provides crucial insights into EMI/EMC standards for military and avionics systems. In particular, MIL-STD-461G Training and Training on EMI/EMC Testing equip engineers to meet strict compliance requirements that prevent EMI issues, a vital step in the overall Test Management and Environmental Test Management process. Given the complexity and breadth of these standards, GDS Engineering R&D offers a robust Systems Engineering Training Program led by experts like Burak Çavuşoğlu, Ismail Cicek, and Dr. Cicek, with specialized modules on RTCA-DO-160G Training. This training focuses on RTCA DO-160, a widely recognized standard for aircraft environmental testing, covering various Test Sections like Power Input and aircraft electrical interface requirements as defined in MIL-STD-704. GDS Engineering's courses emphasize best practices in tailoring, test planning, and consultancy on Environmental Test Management, ensuring that participants are well-prepared to lead and manage the environmental test sequence effectively. Amid the Covid-19 pandemic, Online Training Programs have become essential for continued learning, providing flexibility for international trainees to access high-quality International Training on MIL-STD and RTCA standards from anywhere. These programs are ideal for both individual engineers seeking career advancement and organizations aiming to build in-house expertise. For those working on military platforms and avionics systems, understanding and applying standards like MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-461G, and RTCA DO-160 are vital for robust system design. GDS Engineering’s comprehensive training programs, enhanced by the expertise of seasoned professionals, provide foundational knowledge, advanced methodologies, and Consultancy on Test Management that enables teams to achieve high levels of compliance and operational reliability across military and aviation industries. These programs empower engineers to navigate environmental effects and EMI/EMC requirements, essential for the rigorous demands of military and aerospace applications.
