I suggest getting your Eng degree under your belt first. It is a great degree to have and you'll be fully equipped to kick the arse out of any CPL/ATPL exams that come your way.

Your plan is great. I have done the same but am on the military side of the equation at the moment, but am looking to move to Boeing/Airbus soon.

An Engineering degree [B]will[B/] increase your employability as a pilot, as you will have an all-rounded skills set and be capable of communicating at a high technical level as well as be a team player - engineering group projects help develop these qualities.
