And someone bemoaned the tendency for employers to make managers out of engineers, and this thinking is common. For example, health care companies seem often to imagine that only doctors can administer an organization that employs doctors. That's not far from imagining that business analysts should advise patients on health care matters.
All in all, I agree that an MBA atop an engineering BS is a smart plan. There were several engineering graduates in my MBA program.

You do it right when you get the job with the BS, then earn the MBA with the financial assistance of your employer. Its probably an option available with most if not all aerospace companies.
