Hello,
If you study MBA or equivalent PG Diploma in Finance after your Engineering Degree. In fact your Engineering background will be an additional advantage to become CFO of an Engineering Industry.

Because CFOs are present in many different industries and types of organisations, the education requirements vary widely. The most common level of education required to become a CFO is a bachelors degree, coupled with a considerable amount of experience.

A popular qualification for CFOs is a masters degree in business administration, with 54% of Fortune 100 CFOs holding an MBA.5 Further skills development through online short courses in finance and business management is a sure way to prepare for the role.

  • Bachelors degree: Obtaining a bachelors degree in a finance-related field will provide you with the base knowledge required to begin your journey to Chief Financial Officer. A popular financial undergraduate degree is a BBusSc Finance and Accounting.
  • MBA: Because of the leadership and management responsibilities included in the role of CFO, studying an MBA is a sure way to boost your expertise and prepare yourself for the role. Prepare to study an MBA and use your newly-acquired technical skills to make better business decisions.
  • Online short courses: Chief Financial Officers are required to wear many hats within their organisations, which means they need to know a little about a lot of things. Constant skills development is required to keep up with the fast-paced business world.

I hope this would help you. For further queries please feel free to write me down in the comment box.
