I agree that second bachelors is probably not necessary. It seems like chemical engineering is probably your best choice given your current background. If I were you, I’d try to arrange a masters in 3 years. Show initiative… research a school’s undergraduate and graduate curriculum and try to develop an academic plan before applying. Write down each course you plan to take each semester to catch up and transition to graduate classes and a research project. They may not be willing to give you any kind of tuition remittance for the first year, while you’re mainly taking “remedial” undergrad classes. However, you can probably find a school that will agree to let you go to school for free/ give you a stipend once you start taking graduate classes… your undergrad gpa is pretty good.
