AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the value of pursuing a foundation degree in Engineering for a Project Manager seeking to enhance their engineering knowledge. The individual expresses uncertainty about how a foundation degree will be perceived by potential employers, especially given their extensive 35-year career in various roles and a degree in general engineering science with a mechanical focus. Participants in the discussion emphasize the importance of relevant qualifications and practical experience in the engineering field, suggesting that while a foundation degree may not be as highly regarded as a full degree, it can still demonstrate a commitment to professional development and may open up new opportunities. Recommendations for further education or alternative routes to gain engineering knowledge are also sought.
