	Depends on the university. In a number of well known grad schools in
the US, they actively discourage you from getting a MS, and strongly
encourage you just go straight to the PhD - in fact, they often don't
offer funding if you don't go directly into PhD, because they assume you
just want an MS and will leave.

	Engineering?

	Not really. I think it's on par with CS. Both have areas that will
require a lot of smartness, and both have areas that don't.
