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.
