Is it possible to be accepted in a master program in engineering for someone with a Business administration degree?
For pretty much any engineering grad program (good or terrible), coming from that background, you'd have to bridge into the grad program with all of the engineering undergrad prerequisites. Depending on the program, you either have some courses to make up or basically the whole undergrad lot.

I came to engineering late myself. I do think it's possible-much easier in some disciplines than others-but regardless, your mathematical preparation will be deficient. At least, mine was and I had to make a real effort to fix the problem. You will need to take some serious catch up math classes (it would be to your advantage to do them over time BEFORE committing if you can to be sure you can handle it) and will most likely be conditionally accepted, contingent on achieving a certain grade point average in first semester.
You'll also need to look into the specific branch of engineering and see what core courses you need to complete to be able to work the grad level courses. Just for example, if you don't have an undergrad course in, say, circuits, it will be kind of hard to do EE.
Unless you got a lot of engineering in your business degree, you may be looking at two years worth of undergrad engineering courses first.
Why you want to do engineering? I don't think it is possible. You can change your field if it is possible. I have seen a lot of programs that require a master's degree. I have completed my Master Degree in Construction Management. A Master's degree program in construction management provides learners with knowledge and coaching in various areas, such as development methods, cost evaluation, and legalities.
Many applications highlight technological expertise and provide training in various technological innovations and applications. The average construction manager earns $85,630 per year, as of May 2014.
