Required design experience for P.Eng - continuing education?

I went to school and got a B.Eng but it was never in any particular stream, just a mish-mash of all disciplines. Now that I have been out of school for two years, I am doing project management duties, which do not satisfy the required work experience for P.Eng. Finding a design job has been a very difficult task for me since most employers would quickly filter out any applicants who do not have the required engineering discipline background. However, I am pretty set on getting my P.Eng and want to take some courses in order to increase my chances of getting a design job. I believe I have three options for continuing education:
1) Taking university courses: I have tried to get back into my original university for Masters in Engineering but have been rejected since I do not have the full set of undergrad courses in any stream, so basically I would have to re-do the undergrad courses. This is an incredible waste of time, so likely I would only take maybe 3 undergrad courses to boost my resume/knowledge. I also have a fear that these courses will be too theoretical to help in any way. The only pro is that the undergrad courses would count as credits if I ever decided to get my Masters.
2) Taking college courses: more hands-on, practical, geared for design work, and also cheaper.
3) OSPE courses: the courses seem more practical but they also seem pretty pricey. Any taken these courses before?

Any advice is appreciated.

Thank you.
