Let me start by telling you that Engineering has 4 Cadres... Engineers, Technologist, Technicians and Craftmen.
First, when you attend a Uni as an Engineering Student, you become an Engineer and when you attend a poly or its equivalent and graduate after a Higher Diploma, you will become a Technologist.

The functions of an Engineer is different to that of a Technologist which makes them unequal but can be equivalent.(Apologies)
.
Second, most polytechnics do not really have broader options compared to Unis and isnt really dynamic but they are known to be good at getting their hands on Machines, tools and equipments more and better than Latter.
.
I dont want to bring up issues that may seem discriminatory or even insultive... No Offence meant.
In all, its better to attend a poly and finish up with a degree.

First, with a ND you are capable of handling most 2nd year courses in most Unis.
Second, you are more exposed from the experience which helps in your career and studies.
Lastly, you are supposedly allowed to work more with the tools, equipments and machines as a Technician to be and maybe Technologist with HND than the colleagues in Unis. i think most Unis are already changing that though.

Welcome and as you expect it, It would be difficult but keep ur head tight and expect more difficulty because this is 'engineering'. All the best

LOL! Its like saying Mechanical Engineers repair cars when even 99% of graduates cant do it. Things have gone much more advanced than calling Mech Eng. Car repairers, not even Automotive Engineering would take that cos they deal with all forms of transport likewise 99.9% of Computer Engineers dont repair laptops... Wikipedia will tell you what they do. Just google Computer Engineering and tell me one branch you can flex your muscles
