Test students' ability to apply multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) to prioritize coastal climate‑adaptation infrastructure by selecting and defining criteria, assigning and justifying weights (e.g., via AHP or weighted scoring), incorporating engineering constraints (feasibility, resilience, maintenance), economic costs (capital, lifecycle, funding availability), and social equity impacts (vulnerable groups, access, distributional effects). Assess competence in constructing a decision model, performing sensitivity and scenario analysis, calculating composite scores, interpreting trade-offs, and writing a defensible recommendation for project ranking and implementation sequencing.
