<p>Hello all,</p>
<p>I've been admitted to the MechE grad department at a school and will start this Fall 2009. My undergrad was in MechE, so I just applied the same for MS/PhD, though after taking all the controls, signals and vibrations courses that both EEs and MechEs take, I've realized that I'd more like to study this on the EE side. </p>
<p>Does anyone know if it's possible for me to switch so that I receive a degree in EE and work in that department (without the formal application process to the department)? My guess is that I could find an EE professor this fall willing to fund me and he/she could convince admissions to let me in. To complicate things, I have TA funding for this year from the MechE department, and I'm sure it'd be frowned upon if I talked to my advisor and said I want to switch.</p>
<p>Thoughts, experience?
Thanks</p>
