Abstract

The program curriculum in tertiary education has to be reviewed and updated regularly to enhance the education quality regarding the student interests, current industry demands and academic trends. To effectively develop a number of reasonable courses, a comprehensive approach to evaluate and select the suitable courses for students is essential for the program curriculum development. This paper proposes the Primitive Cognitive Network Process for the department course selection strategy considering multiple criteria and alternatives.
