Rank Ordering Engineering Designs: Pairwise Comparison Charts and Borda Counts (2008)

Clive L. Dym, William H. Wood, Michael J. Scott

Designers routinely rank alternatives in a variety of settings using a staple of comparison, the pairwise comparison. In recent years questions have been raised about the use of such comparisons as a...

Formalizing negotiation in engineering design (2008)

Scott, Michael J.

Negotiations are common in engineering design, especially on large projects, and are typically conducted informally. Often, negotiation is used to handle the imprecision or uncertainty that is...

Effects of Climate Change on Energy Production and Use in the United States (2008)

Wilbanks, Thomas, Bhatt, Vatsal, Bilello, Daniel, Bull, Stanley, Ekmann, James, Horak, William, ...

Climate change is expected to have noticeable effects in the United States: a rise in average temperatures in most regions, changes in precipitation amounts and seasonal patterns in many regions,...

Compensation and Weights for Trade-offs in Engineering Design: Beyond the Weighted Sum (2005)

Scott, Michael J., Antonsson, Erik K.

Multicriteria decision support methods are common in engineering design. These methods typically rely on a summation of weighted attributes to accomplish trade-offs among competing objectives. It has...
