[UK MEng] UK Master of Engineering in the US

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I study Mechanical Engineering at one of the British universities.
I am studying towards a Master of Engineering (UK MEng) and in the future I would like to work in the United States.
However, I read on Wikipedia that
"The UK MEng (undergraduate degree) is not recognized in Canada, USA, India or Europe as a true masters degree since a masters degree in these countries takes a further 1–2 years after a 4 year Bachelors degree. A UK MSc attained as a degree separate from the bachelor degree is recognized as a true Masters degree."</p>

<p>Does anyone have any experience regarding this issue? Or is it better to get a UK BEng and then a UK MSci?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance,</p>

<p>Phi</p>
