(I used to find it quite amusing when my colleagues said their degrees were "BS". The usual reply: "You said it, not me!")
RE: M.Sc. or M.S.
In the USA is M.S. or B.S.
I do not think one is more correct than the other. Its the way it is and no seem to have complained.

You could get MPhil for Master of Philosophy (in engineering) if you got your Masters by doing research.
If you extended your research to doctoral level you got Ph.D.
I've never seen or heard of E.D. or DEng!

I always assumed it was a European thing but quick wiki search shows it's more a US degree. Interestingly, they also mention the EU factor, that it's awarded for "significant contribution over your career".

Now you're just showing off. Hasn't it been upgraded to a Masters yet?

I'm a BEng, was gonna be an MEng if it hadn't been for those pesky 2nd year exams!

Either way, in my case, my degree was a 5 years and if you don't complete it all, you wouldn't have any diploma (meaning, if you complete 3 years you get a BSc and then the additional 2 years would award you a MSc. This option was not available or you do 5 years or you don't). I believe that the closest that this gets to the UK/US system is a MSc/MS. In my country (in old times) for you to have a "Master" you would need to enroll in an additional 2 years. There was a funny thing that some colleagues after finishing their degree would go to UK for a MSc. Then they would realize that that was equivalent to our 4th/5th year of university.
