Abstract

Using a fuzzy logic-based application that utilizes linguistic scale values, we have evaluated commitment and engagement of five individual university students from Finland studying Industrial Management and Engineering from bachelor’s to master’s level. The data was gathered over one year and the students answered the application three times during different management courses. This research paper concentrates on analyzing three different commitment categories to see whether there has been change over time, as expected. Our assumption is that academic commitment and engagement toward studies tend to increase as studies progress and students approach graduation.
