Cadets learn how to use information and technology in support of systems decision-making. They learn how to manipulate data in spreadsheets as well as through a computer language (R) to support decisions. The course introduces cadets to several types of exploratory data analysis to include numeric, text, relational, and geospatial. Cadets learn how to manage analysis in both the traditional and cloud environments, as well as the tradeoffs associated with working in each. Communication skills are developed through both written and oral projects and development of interactive graphical presentations. Cadets will spend most lessons in a computer lab environment.
