I may be doing one on a day release basis, already have HNC in electrical engineering. Its been 6 years since i was in college tho! I have plant experience since leaveing school, now 26. Left school and got apprenticeship in instrumentation and electrics (process control) on a chemical site. So i have a good experience level.
Will i struggle?

As a side note, where is the most money? which engineering degree, though non-mechanical. I am electrical / instrument biased!

Depends on what type of engineering you choose. All branch of engineering (mechanical, chemical, electrical) require different skill sets. However you should be fine so long as your not affraid of math, which you will get a lot of, I have seen some rather stupid people make it through so you'll be fine

Will you struggle? The answere to this question all depends on you as the individual and the school you are attending. By no means are all engineering schools equal. Engineering studies the fundamental properties of the field you're interested in. A sound understanding of the core material in your field of choice allows you to apply problem solving skills to solve problems that for the most part do not exist.
A good engineering school will challenge most individuals and requires a good amount of dedication from you with respect to studying and time alotted for homework. The first 2 years are science and math focused requiring you to take various courses in physics, chemestry and math. These courses are commonmly known as the "weed out" classes, and if you get past those you should be prepared to take on the challenges in your major in the junior and senior years. As mentioned above by another person, some folks get through who really shouldn't. My experiance has shown that these indivuals come from lackluster schools where the admission policy is fairly open and unconstrained. The schools which have competitive admission tend to graduate skilled engineers, and it shows.

I went back to take Master's level classes 22 years after I got my BSEE, and they seemed like they were easier than my undergraduate classes (22 years prior), when, in fact, the material was more 'difficult'.
You'll be fine.

I'd say you'd do fine.
