Abstract

3th International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Applications (ICIEA) -- APR 28-30, 2016 -- Hong Kong, PEOPLES R CHINAWOS: 000387731800103Post Graduate Study has a very important role in people's career planning.

The aim of the study is to propose a model for students that determines which courses will be chosen on master course selection and this model gives an application example. In this study, course selection problem is discussed for post graduate students in Industrial Engineering Department of Kirikkale University. All criteria that are effected for selecting a course are identified by the help of survey then, significance levels are determined with using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) which is a Multi-Criteria Decision Making Method. According to the weights which are determined before in AHP results, six classes weighted by PROMETHEE method in Industrial Engineering Department
