Developing a proposed education program through modifications ofsuccessful programs to meet the needs of the 21st-century engineer will enable engineers toacquire the skills necessary to succeed in the world economy and to grow within the domesticengineering and construction market in a more transparent manner.

Thedegree was not designed to be ABET accredited and has never been submitted for evaluation.There were two “ideal” candidates for the degree; students who sought a career at the interfacebetween engineering and business (e.g. technical sales, construction management) and studentswho wanted a second degree to compliment a degree in engineering or in business.In recent years, faculty interest in the program has been lukewarm and student demand has beenvery light.

However, to compete in a changing marketplace fraught withrapidly changing technology, shorter product life-cycles, downsizing and outsourcing, engineersneed to re-invent themselves as independent and entrepreneurial and market their creativity.25 Inmany large corporations, entrepreneurially thinking engineers have been observed to show moreentrepreneurial initiative and a higher level of productivity, efficiency and cost-consciousness.
