Ahh... the MBA - MEng discussion....

I went through this, a lot of what I am going to say has been said here before, but I will give you my story. I did Biomed Eng. for undergrad, did a coop my senior year and decided I was going to switch all my PhD applications which were already sent to MEng applications.

I started the Masters right after the undergrad, in the process also obtained a full time job (after doing a second coop during my first year of MEng) and continued the masters part time. It was probably one of the best decisions for me, does not work for everyone though.

I finished my Masters last October (3 years later) heh... and took my GMATs in December, I am starting my MBA this fall, dont know where yet though.

I would say the MEng is first priority because you want to build the technical background in your field before really starting to consider and understand the business aspects, unless you completely want to skip the Technical side and have no interests in it.

Also, if you like technical aspects more, you may want to try it out first and see if the MBA is really even a direction you want to consider.

Hope this helps.
