Innovation capacity appraisal of junior college engineering students based on AHP-TOPSIS

Cultivating the practical capacity and technical operations of students should be attached the greatest importance by junior college, at the premise of ensuring theoretical knowledge during teaching process. Only equipped with innovation capacity, can engineering students combine theory and technology, engineering and science, school and social reality, so as to be able to meet the needs of society. In this study, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution (TOPSIS)) are employed. By sampling 30 students from the College of Henan Mechanical and Electrical majoring in Mechanical, the innovation evaluation model is established according to evaluation indicators as integrated analysis capacity, project planning capacity, program development capacity, project implementation capacity, innovation and development capacity, and organizational coordination capacity. At first, the attribute weight vectors of indicators shall be obtained by using AHP, and then the corresponding indicators shall be calculated by TOPSIS, so that the integrated evaluation result is given. The result shows that this method has a very good discrimination in innovation capacity evaluation of junior college engineering students.
