This course provides Airmen with an introduction to data research through management of a project under a life- cycle plan. Students will understand the components of a project and learn how to see a project to completion from project initiation through project closing. Additionally, students will learn how to evaluate the end state of a project to plan for future approaches or prepare for any future issues. Although this course is designed as a stand-alone course, it will also serve as a springboard to more advanced courses on machine learning and other advanced analytical techniques.
