After getting a B.S in Mechanical engineering, can i get a masters in a different type of engineering, like civil, structural, enviromental, architectural??
- does the opposite also work?( B.S in civil then M.S in mechanical)

Yes. You can get as many engineering degree you would like. It all depends on your money, time, and will. The good thing about getting a second degree in the same domain (ex. engineering) is that you will not need to take a lot of extra classes, since most of them will still apply for your new engineering major.
For example: let's say you graduate with a degree in Mechanical Engineering and decide to get a master degree in Civil engineering. By holding a B.S. already, you can easily sign up for master's classes in Civil Engineering.
Another way to see it is: A B.S. degree is just the open door for your M.S. degree, which should always be a specialization degree.
In conclusion: it's feasible. It just may cost you a little bit more of your time and money.

Yes, you can get a M.S. in a different field. As noted, you must make sure you learn the background information for the new classes.

No. As far as this field of engineering is concerned one cannot go for othe branches as this is the deviation from your basic course. And whats the fun in doing masters for the course which is not your basic even.

Sure but you may have to make up some core courses in the new field.
