Abstract :
A decision support system is a system that can be used to help make
decisions based on existing criteria, basically decision making is motivated by the
existence of a problem or problem that occurs in the decision making process. The
author wants to create a decision support system for determining software
engineering study programs at the Bengkalis State Polytechnic, to help
recommend study programs that suit the abilities of these students based on
existing criteria. In addition, there is a chat feature created directly by the admin
which is intended for students and the student affairs section of the Bengkalis State
Polytechnic. By using the mamdani fuzzy method, fuzzy logic is able to model very
complex non-linear functions. Based on this research that was passed, the author
concluded that by applying the fuzzy mamdani algorithm in building a decision
support system for determining the study program, this study program can help
users in the process of determining the software engineering study program with
the assessment criteria that have been determined in the system
