Maybe I’m wrong, but I was under the impression that most engineering programs prefer their PhD candidates already have a masters. This might have to do with the internal requirements to teach undergrads, e.g you have to have a masters to be enslaved to teach undergrads. And masters candidates tend to be TAs. At least it was that way back in the Stone Age.
