<p>I currently have a BS in Supply Chain Technology with Six Sigma and Lean Certificates. The degree is made up of the engineering prereqs and a combo of Industrial Eng courses as well as suppl courses. I am also prior military, where I worked as a cryptologist. I have been accepted jnto the Johns Hopkins Masters program for Systems Engineering. I am curious if I should get the masters or go back to school and get a second bachelors in Electrical Engineering (or mechanical?). I value all kinds of feedback. </p>
<p>If you want to do actual engineering design or analysis with potential to be a technical lead later, then you’ll need a traditional engineering degree (EE, MechE). You may be able to try for a masters in one of these if you took the undergraduate catch-up/fundamental courses. That said, if your interest instead is more on the requirements gathering and process side of projects, then getting a masters in systems engineering at hopkins would be better. You can always go the systems route after getting an EE or MechE BS or MS with or without the formal SysE degree, however the opposite is not true.</p>
