My suggestion is to do the Peace Corps for as long as you want to gain the experience you seek, however another Masters degree is not really going to help much if you eventually want a Ph.D. Taking the time off to gain the kind of experience that you would get in the Peace Corps is a great idea which can give you a leg up on getting into a Ph.D. program. This kind of real world experience is often a plus for engineering programs.

Just make sure that you take your GRE’s when you are in a good state of mind, maybe before going off to the Peace Corps. They are valid for 5 years.
