This research aimed to propose a decision matrix based on multi-criteria analysis to aid decision-makers in optimizing the ability of software engineering students. In this study, an experiment was conducted on the basis of several stages. First, decision matrix was constructed to rank the ability of software engineering students based on multimeasurement criteria (Grade Point Average (GPA) and soft skills) and Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) process levels as alternatives. Then, the constructed decision matrix was adapted by distributing the courses of SDLC process levels based on Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (SWEBOK) standard and expert opinions using Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) techniques based on Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to weight the alternatives. Next, the ability of students was ranked based on the adapted decision matrix using the integrated AHP to weight the multi-measurement criteria, and Technique for Order Performance by Similar.....
