larger for an EngineeringManagement degree than for a Masters degree in Industrial Engineering.The board members discussed various options and believed that a M.S. degree inEngineering Management would be highly desirable in the Bay Area. Also, the fact thatboth programs that are needed for offering this degree, Industrial Engineering and aManagement and Finance Department, are present at CSUEB means this degree programcan be offered without requesting additional resources.These discussions led to the formation of a taskforce comprised of the Chair of theEngineering Department, the Chair of the Management and Finance Department, andDepartment of Engineering faculty. The taskforce was charged with analyzing local,statewide and national offerings

a student is the average grade obtained by that student. Determining theoutcomes of a course base on an average grade is a common educational practice. According toTorshen [6], averaging is a major cause of problems in education.There are several reasons why students are allowed to progress in a course while only meetingminimum standards. For one, students learn at different rates. While one student may master asubject in a certain allocated time, a second student may be able to meet only half therequirements in the same length of time. In the case of the latter student, progression in thesubject is dependent upon the minimum standards of the course and also upon future success inother topics within the course. Second, most current
