N2  - Evaluation of researchprojects of undergraduate students in an effective manner is important torewarding student success in technical education at Engineering Departments.Research project of undergraduate students evaluation is mainly concerned withevaluating a number of research projects and then to grade them for rewarding.For this purpose, in this paper, an effective method for evaluating and tograde research projects of undergraduate students is proposed. AMultiple-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methodology to evaluate the researchprojects is suggested. Firstly, the criteria that will be used in theevaluation are determined and then those criteria are weighted in terms oftheir importance. In order to determine the degree of importance of eachresearch projects the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to IdealSolution (TOPSIS) method is used.
