I’m pretty sure most people on this forum aren’t qualified to judge any MS in Engineering programs...

I’m sure there are , but as far as good engineering programs go, you might have better luck asking stack overflow or some site like that.

I agree. it's like a course curriculum question. I'm not good at Software Eng curriculums--if it was Stats curriculum I could handle it~

There is no right curriculum to prepare for M7 MBA. It's more about how you use all of your cards.
