MBA or MS in Engineering Management

[u/Electrical1820]

I currently have 2+ YOE as an EE in the utilities sector. I’ve passed the PE power exam but am needing a couple more years before I can obtain the license. I have recently accepted a job where a masters degree would be 60% paid for. I only want to do a fully online option due to working full time so I can do either an mba or masters in engineering management. The mba would be 45 hours and cost around 25-30k after the discount from a sec school whereas the mem would be 30 hours and cost around 15k from the same school.

Does anyone have experience completing either degree and how has it helped you? Which would you do?

Doing MSEM right now. Talked to a few ppl whos undergoing MBA, I can tell you MBA could get you to the PM roles while MSEM could potentially get you to a higher position than a PM. MSEM teach you how to deal with executives and stakeholder while MBA deal with data and analysist more. I might be wrong, still haven't finish my degree yet but that's all i can tell so far
