<p>Does an undergraduate engineering degree hold any value after one obtains an MBA, if one does not have significant experience working as an engineer? Or is the newly earned MBA all that matters to employers?</p>
<p>Yes. If you are going to be a technical manager having an undergraduate MBA is oftentimes required.</p>
<p>On the other hand, an engineering ug degree would likely have no impact on a marketing executive.</p>

<p>The undergrad engineering degree can matter in the sense that it gives you technical credibility, even if you have never actually worked as an engineer. It certainly gives you more technical credibility than if you don’t even have an eng degree at all. </p>
<p>Where I have found this to be important is with tech startups. They will often times tend to prefer to hire people who have some sort of technical background, even if it’s just an undergrad eng degree.</p>
