No, you should not. You should say he received a Bachelor's of Engineering degree, not the. I'm not sure 100% the reason, but I think you tend to use the if the thing you are talking about is the subject of the phrase, and it's a specific one.

For instance:

The Bachelor's of Engineering he earned gave Timmy many opportunities.

However, a similar sentence without it being a specific degree we're talking about could be:

A Bachelor's of Engineering degree can give you many opportunities.

Hope that helps!
