Abstract

Evaluation of research projects of undergraduate students in an effective manner is important to rewarding student success in technical education at Engineering Departments. Research project of undergraduate students evaluation is mainly concerned with evaluating a number of research projects and then to grade them for rewarding. For this purpose, in this paper, an effective method for evaluating and to grade research projects of undergraduate students is proposed. A Multiple-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methodology to evaluate the research projects is suggested. Firstly, the criteria that will be used in the evaluation are determined and then those criteria are weighted in terms of their importance. In order to determine the degree of importance of each research projects the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method is used.
