“…Complex decision-making is closely related to all aspects of our lives with the rapid development of economy and society. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method has been developed and extended to decompose complex decision-making problems into hierarchical structures according to various factors (Saaty, 1980;Benaida, 2023;Ma et al, 2023;Sathyan et al, 2023). Pairwise comparison matrices (PCMs) are produced by using the technique of paired comparisons of alternatives and criteria.…”

Consistency measure and prioritization elicitation are two important issues for pairwise comparison matrices (PCMs) originating from the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). In this study, a novel consistency index is reported using the difference between arithmetic mean and geometric mean, which is called the arithmetic-geometric mean difference consistency index (AGMD-CI). Some interesting properties of AGMD-CI are investigated and the thresholds of acceptable consistency are determined using the method of computer simulations. Then, a consistency improving method is proposed by constructing an optimization problem, which is solved by particle swarm optimization (PSO). In addition, based on the idea of minimizing the arithmetic-geometric mean difference, an optimization model is established to obtain the priority vector from PCMs. The analytical solution of the proposed model is further derived. It is found that the proposed prioritization method is equivalent to the logarithmic least squares method. Finally, a novel decision making algorithm is proposed and the case study is carried out to illustrate the proposed methods.

In the field of engineering management, teaching emphasizes the cultivation of applied talents within the context of new engineering disciplines. Evaluating the effectiveness of this cultivation is particularly necessary. The evaluation system for teaching effectiveness plays a crucial role in enhancing teaching quality, promoting students’ comprehensive development, and driving educational reforms. In recent years, there have been numerous research achievements on the evaluation system for practice-oriented teaching quality. However, compared with other disciplines, the field of engineering management remains in its infancy. Therefore, this study clarified the ability goals that talents in this major should possess by studying the evaluation indicators of teaching effectiveness in the field. Based on an emphasis on cultivating different abilities, a practical teaching effectiveness evaluation system was constructed. This study used the Delphi method and the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to construct a teaching evaluation indicator system for engineering management majors. The system assigns weights to each indicator based on the “Four Abilities”, including professional competence, practical skills, innovation abilities, and employability. This results in the establishment of a relatively scientific and reasonable teaching effectiveness evaluation system. Furthermore, based on the research results, teaching reform studies related to ability cultivation in the “Building Structures” course were carried out. The teaching effectiveness was verified through post-class student feedback, and a student assessment method was established. This study contributes to a better understanding of the path of practical teaching reform and provides a reference value for teaching practice research in related majors.
