Abstract:
This paper proposes a combination weighting calculation method to evaluate the performance of majors. Because of the varying emphasis of each weighting method, a combination of the Criteria Importance Through the Intercriteria Correlation (CRITIC) method, entropy method, and mean-variance analysis is proposed. Based on the evaluation index system for engineering majors offered at universities, the research of index weight determination and major evaluation is carried out after investigating the data of various indices of engineering majors in recent years. Compared with the majors in engineering education accreditation, the results reveal that the major comprehensive performance ranking is valid, thereby not only providing a new program for universities to establish an evaluation mechanism but also implementing normalized and dynamic major evaluation.

Multiple Regression
Farmers can use multiple regression to determine the crop yield based on more than one factor, such as water availability, fertilizer, soil properties, etc. Here, the crop yield is the response or dependent variable as it depends on the other independent variables. The analysis requires the construction of a scatter plot...

Stresses under Combined Loadings
The process begins by slicing the tube at critical points and analyzing the internal forces and stress components at these sections, focusing on the centroid. Normal stresses, generated by axial forces and bending moments, are either compressive or tensile and vary across the section from...
