A Model Proposal for Course Selection with the Fuzzy MOORA Approach

Abstract

Modern engineering study programme made to fit the needs of industrial enterprises. The programme is based on training and education in the field of industrial engineering and on experience gained during implementation of individual projects in industrial enterprises. Many universities offer courses, in areas such as logistics, supply chain management and analytics. In this study, the importance of courses in industrial engineering undergraduate programs has been researched. Compulsory and optional courses given in industrial engineering have been investigated under the determined criteria. Research, academics working in the industrial engineering department in Turkey, the proper course of materiality is an implementation of the fuzzy logic survey work on assessing the work. The sample order with 32 samples prepared by the academicians responding to the questionnaire was determined with «Fuzzy MOORA» technique as compulsory and optional courses. Studies on course selection were examined, to the best of our knowledge this is the first study using «Fuzzy MOORA» technique to select/rank courses. It is evaluated that MOORA method, which is a new criterion decision method for course choice, will contribute to international literature as «Fuzzy MOORA» approach with fuzzy logic.

Keywords
