- Abstract:
Educating civil engineers to manage companies and projects successfully is an extremely important task. In 2002, the International MBA in Construction programme was launched at the Faculty of Civil Engineering, specially designed and adapted to the construction industry's specific needs, as "general" MBA is not always suitable for engineers holding managerial jobs in companies and/or in construction projects. Most of the students attending the programme were civil engineers and architects, graduates from Civil Engineering Faculties in Croatia. Problems that have emerged from the introduction of the programme are presented as well as suggestions for the future development of the programme.
