Yes, Humanities would be easier to get into admission-wise. You would need the pre-requisites for Engineering as you mentioned. Physics being one of them. You could switch to apply for getting into Engineering, but most Humanities courses wouldn't overlap with Eng courses. The Eng 1 program is quite structured.
