SAP PLM and SAP PM are something that might be of interest. PLM is Product Lifecycle Management and PM is Plant Maintenance.

There are four broad career track you can take in SAP, below is the order of least technical expertise required.

1) Project Manager track -

2) Functional Consultant - Business Analyst with deep product knowledge

3) Basis - Administrator with specialized SAP knowledge.

4) Developer - coder with high-level cross-functional knowledge.

SAP ecosystem attract talents from various academic backgrounds, definitely having an engineering mindset helps but I have seen very successful consultants with a non-college degree as well.
