I am a math professor from the US. I have a bachelor's and master's in mathematics from a US university. I desire to change careers from a mathematician to an engineer (mechanical engineering). I am immigrating to Canada and would like to get an engineering degree at a Canadian university, and later get work and a PEng in Canada. I plan to live and work in BC, but not necessarily attend school there.
I would like to make the most efficient use of my time and money. Is it necessary to go back and get another bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, or could I just get a master's degree in mechanical engineering? And if a master's, should I get a MEng or a MAsc? I want to take the best path to a job and later a PEng in Canada.
(Please note that I have asked a couple of Canadian universities and they said that I would qualify for admission to either program even though I don't have a bachelor's in mech eng.)
