GET THE ORIGINAL DEGREE CERTIFICATE ATTESTED FROM MINISTRY OF EXTERNAL AFFAIRS & UAE EMBASSY IN YOUR COUNTRY. SCAN THE SAME & SEND IT. YOU HAVE TO GET THE ORIGINAL ATTESTED AGAIN IN UAE LATER PRIOR TO VISA STAMPING IN THE PASSPORT.

DO NOT SEND ORIGINAL CERTIFICATE BY COURIER.

Never do that, entry visa (first entry) is issued on copy and at a latter stage you will require to provide originals to transfer visa to your passport.

But it is true that original degree certificate is mandatory for engineer visa processing in UAE (I think it is also necessary to do embassy attestation). So you have to decide whether to take the risk. If possible hand the certificate directly to a responsible person in the company, rather than post.

Do not send original certificates by post to any one. If they cannot accept scanned copies or photocopies let them go.

Never send to any employer your original diplomas, degrees or certification via mail regardless how strong your desire to start working is. If you do, you might not get your originals back. Send them a color photocopy and the phone# and address of the educational institution you graduated from.
