<p>I think an engineering Master’s with a non-engineering bachelor’s is a bad idea personally. A Master’s degree (atleast an MSE) is simply a specialization degree. You take one (maybe two) areas of your undergraduate education and expand on them. You’re not expanding on your entire undergraduate education (like many people often, and incorrectly, assume). </p>
<p>That being said, a Master’s without a bachelor’s in engineering will undoubtedly require a large number of pre-requisite courses in order to qualify for the Master’s classes. The problem is that the breadth of those pre-requisite courses will not be great as it would have been had you completed a Bachelor’s degree first (you’re essentially just taking the bare minimum in order to qualify for particular classes for your Master’s). So, you can see that your engineering foundation will be more fragmented than your typical BSE -> MSE individual’s would be. </p>
