OP here. Thanks for the note on programming and DS, it really helps.
Maybe the question is a joke to a minority of people, but for someone who got laid off recently like myself and many others, this question means a lot. Thanks.

Not sure if these are just trolling kids or power tripping managers.....either way, it comes to show how pathetic and little they are posting a comment like this on a very legit question.

Yes, you can. You will be even in good shape with you Engineering experiences in IT / Computer Programming compare to fresh Computer Science graduate. Most of engineering students are very good in programming and took Numerical Analysis, programming (MATLAB Programming, C, C++, Fortran) in their second year of their undergrad. Data Science is very straightforward and you have to go through statistics in addition to programming languages and your excel expertise. You might need to know other database software in addition to programming languages. It also depends how much time you can afford to provide to develop your skill. Age doesn't matter (30s/40S/50s), matter is how you can manage time by maintain other responsibilities (for instance, young kids and if you are still at Imperial (understaff, you won't find time)).
