Would "Engineering Technology" be enough for me or do I HAVE to major in actual "Engineering"?

In the future I want to obtain a Managers position at headquarters of a Fortune 500 Company that manufactures Computers such as Apple/Dell/HP etc. I want a position who’s role is to read blueprints made by Engineers and bring them into reality.

I know I should obtain a MBA, I will pursue that after my Bachelors.

For my Bachelors I was thinking about majoring in Computer or Electrical Engineering but doing research on the courses it seems a little unattractive because it revolves around “Designing” Electronics which I don’t really plan on doing in the future. I’m more interested in “Electronics Engineering Technology” which revolves around manufacturing and repairing.

My question is, if I major in Electronics Engineering Technology would it be more difficult to obtain a Managers position that fits the description above? Would the CEO prefer to hire a different employee that has a degree in Computer or Electrical Engineering instead?
