This workshop introduces the principles and practices of systematically capturing, structuring, and verifying engineering system requirements. Participants will explore how IEEE 1233 ensures that designs meet technical, safety, compliance, and operational goals from the very beginning of the engineering process. Real-world case studies will illustrate how rigorous requirements development prevents costly design flaws, strengthens project outcomes, and improves system reliability. PDH certificates will be provided. Offered by the IEEE Oklahoma City Section as part of the Standard Electrical and Electronic Engineering (SEEE) Workshop Series.
