An Online Training with Focus on FAA Requirements Engineering Management Handbook
August 11, 2023 @ 8:00 am – August 13, 2023 @ 12:00 am
2.5 Days, Hands-on, “Online” or “Onsite“, International Training Class
Cost: USD 560.00
Training Summary
This two and a half days of training presents with a set of recommended practices on how to collect, write, validate, and organize requirements. It attempts to bring together the best ideas from several approaches, organize them into a coherent whole, and illustrate them with concrete examples that make their benefits clear. The presentations use some information from the FAA Requirements Engineering Handbook (DOT/FAA/AR-08/32); however, the training is not limited to this handbook only. The instrructor provides additional information to better understand the goals and activities described in this very useful handbook.
This training helps you adopting the Requirements Engineering Management processes directly into your project as well as organizational processes.

The literature on requirements engineering is vast and practices vary widely even within a particular industry. For this reason, the Handbook is targeted to the domain of real-time, embedded systems and specifically to the avionics industry. Due to the rapidly growing importance of software in these systems, it emphasizes practices that ease the transition from system to software requirements. The main-level recommended practices are presented roughly in the order they would be performed on a program, but there is no requirement that this order must be strictly adhered to.
As with most processes, significant iteration between the different activities is expected as the requirements are refined. Rather than trying to specify a detailed process, the Handbook focuses on identifying what information is needed in a requirements specification and providing recommendations on how that information can be collected and organized.

About the Instructors
The main instructor of the training is Dr Ismail Cicek. An Avionics Chief Engineer (EE) who is also a Certified Verification Engineer (FAA/EASA) also assists the trainings. Our experienced test personnel also becomes avialable for demonstrations and discussions.
A Certified Verification Engineer (CVE) iaw FAA/EASA and with 18 years of experience. He has worked as the avionics systems chief engineer in product development of avionics systems. He is also experienced in the product testing per environmental and EMI/EMC standards and FAA/EASA certification processes.
Our experienced personnel also support our training programs. They are actively participating in the environmental testing of products.
Dr. Ismail 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 by working in the United States Department of Defence projects and programs as systems development engineer for 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 is the founding manager of the METC in Tuzla Campus of ITU. Meanwhile, he provided engineering services, consultancies, and training to many organizations for product development, engineering research studies such a algorith development, test requirements development, and test plans and executions.
Dr Cicek worked as the Principle Investigator and became a Subject Matter Expert (SME) at the US Air Force Aeromedical Test Lab (WPAFB/OH) for certifying the products to the US Air Force Platform Requirements. He also developed Joint Enroute Care Equipment Test Standard (JECETS) in close work with US Army Test Lab engineers and managers.
