Analog electronics and signal processing fundamentally tied into complex numbers but it's completely possible to do the math to pass exams etc. and become EE engineer without deep understanding complex math. You just use formulas and do arithmetic with them.
Most practically oriented engineering students bitch about the math heavy parts because they don't have any use for them. They are happy with just the formulas and arithmetic. They can calculate electronic circuits, do Laplace transforms and Fourier transforms mechanically. As long as they understand what goes in and what comes out, it works just fine.
