Using the Analytic Hierarchy Process in Engineering Education
Paul R. Drake · International journal of engineering education · 1998
The Analytic Hierarchy Process is introduced into undergraduate and postgraduate studentprojects to formalise the process of selection of ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ system components. This formalframework provides greater insight into a student’s reasoning. This is of great benefit to the lecturersince it reveals the extent to which the student understands the objectives of the engineering exercisebeing tackled and the relative merits of the alternative solutions. Detailed examples are presented ina tutorial form.
