Can a Mechanical Engineer Learn Machine Learning?

Question

Can somebody let me know that if a Mechnical engineer can learn Machine Learning or not? I see no growth in my current job and everyone is suggesting me to move to the IT field and start learning some trending skills. 
Machine Learning is something that a few of my friends are doing so I wanted to know how difficult it would be for a Mechanical Engineer with no prior coding experience to learn Machine Learning from scratch?
Looking forward to get answers from the experts.
