Executive Summary – Termination of the Master of Business and Engineering
(MBE) degree in Construction Engineering Management
The Master of Business and Engineering (MBE) Program in the School of Civil
and Construction Engineering was established in 2005 with the objective of
offering a broader education in construction engineering and management and
business. Although there has been modest enrollment (<8) in the MBE program,
enrollment has further decreased and there are currently only three (3) students
enrolled in the program. This proposal is to eliminate the MBE program yet still
offer students the same classes through the graduate program in Construction
Engineering Management in the School of Civil and Construction Engineering.
All classes required for the MBE will continued to be offered and all students
currently in the program will be allowed to complete their MBE degrees.
However, if a student prefers to transfer to the M.Eng or M.S. degrees in
Construction Engineering Management within the Civil and Construction
Engineering program, the students will be allowed to do so. It is anticipated that
the elimination of the MBE program will have no effect on existing students.

The College of Business does not have any problem with the elimination of the MBE.
Good luck with your decision.

Please change the first year budget to be a no cost budget unless you really think that there is an incremental cost of
the proposal in the first year. If you really think so, the OPE needs to be added
