Type-2 Neutrosophic Sets (T2NSs) for Quality Evaluation of Project-Based Art and Design Courses: Evaluation Seven Projects

Abstract

 Conflicting objectives for alternatives must be valued in a decision-making process, and 
the optimal option must be chosen based on the decision-makers requirements. For this selection, 
multi-objective optimization techniques might offer a solution. The purpose of this study is to 
introduce two relatively new multi-objective optimization techniques: multi-objective 
optimization based on simple ratio analysis (MOOSRA) and Entropy methods. This study uses 
the multi-criteria decision-making method (MCDM) to evaluate the project-based art and design 
courses. The entropy method is used to compute the criteria weights and the MOOSRA method 
is used to rank the alternatives. The MCDM method is used under the type-2 neutrosophic sets 
(T2NSs) to deal with vague and uncertain information. A case study with 14 criteria and seven 
projects are used in this study. The results show that Graphic Design Projects have the highest 
rank and the  Product & Industrial Design has the lowest rank. Sensitivity analysis was conducted 
to show the different ranks of alternatives.
