I have an M.Eng from Cornell in EE, from antiquity.
At that time at least, in that field, the M.Eng required advanced coursework and a design project. Not a thesis. It was an advanced degree leading towards practice in industry, not towards a doctorate.

None of the people I knew who were in the M.Eng. program when I was there were trying to gain entrance to a Phd prorgram. They would be disadvantaged for that, because they did no research.
