Engineering Technology programs: Excelsior vs TESU

Not necessarily.  The MS/ME can be a "pure engineering" degree, but becoming common are "engineering management" and other sort of hybrid "engineering+something else" masters.  The prereqs for the hybrids often are less rigorous.  I've seen them with as little as a single "intro to engineering" (any flavor) class plus calc 1, provided that the bachelors degree was in a "closely related field" with a decent GPA.  
If you *are* interested in the sci/eng side of the masters field, though, I'd try to load up the bachelors with as many of the masters prereqs as possible using the gen-ed/free elective slots (unless you just want speed, and don't mind additional classes down the road), so you won't waste time before the masters.  But if a hybrid-type sounds good, then you won't have to worry about much in the way of prereqs.
