<p>To the OP:</p>
<p>I would say that if your ultimate goal is to get the MBA, then, frankly, you don't really need a master's in engineering. After you get the MBA, you're probably never going to want to work as an engineer ever again in your life, and hence your engineering master's is not going to carry much value. You might work as an * engineering manager *, but probably not as a pure engineer.</p>
