I am also an engineer currently. In my field, master and pHd has different branch or so called specialist. So to find out which field you like most, your need to work first then go for the master and pHd in that field. I do not read the front post so i also don't know TS is from which branch of engineering so if your branch do not have specialist then you may go study first as when you doing your pHd you may ask your guidance prof to give you some part time work and you will gain some exp from there. To get PE, you need either working exp 2 year design + 1 year contractual exp or if i not mistaken is 10 years in research. Hope this clear your doubt.
