Looks like quite an interesting course, would quite like to do something like that as a side interest in future.
If the engineering maths is anything like I've done/doing for BEng in Civils, it does indeed get very tricky. Mainly the calculus which causes problems so I'd recommend reading up/practicing that if at all possible before you begin, although I'm unsure what foundation year maths will be like so it give you a solid footing before the BEng.
Like some people have said, the majority of the calcs can be done on the computers in seconds now - but you'll still need to learn the old fashioned way and do them by hand to show you understand it all.

Still plenty of companies do offer sponsership. At my place we currently have about a dozen studying either a bachelors or masters. We typically get all fees paid, including fieldtrips, the day out of the office and no change to salary. Used to get travel costs too, but they scrapped that as of last year! I'm in my 5th year of sponsored education and 3 more to go!
