Page 13.219.5 3As also mentioned above, a basic DEA model allows the introduction of multiple inputs and multipleoutputs and obtains an “efficiency score” of each DMU with the conventional output/input ratioanalysis. Defining basic efficiency as the ratio of weighted sum of outputs to the weighted sum ofinputs, the relative efficiency score of a test DMU p can be obtained by solving the following DEAratio model (CCR) proposed by Charnes, et al.1: s ∑v k =1

Most engineeringschools opt for a two-semester capstone8. In addition, the experience obtained is in tune withABET accreditation requirements9, 10. Moreover, close interaction with students offers theinstructor an invaluable chance to mentor them and initiate them into research and design in aninformal and actually more effective manner than in traditional courses. It was reported thatpromoting creativity in engineering classes leads to student retention and better student-professorinteractions11.
