<p>I put my major as Bioengineering when I sent in the application and that's what it says on my acceptance letter. However, I wrote a letter (handwritten) to them in Mid-December saying that I wanted to change to Civil Engineering. I am still not completely sure of what type of engineering I want to do, but I know that I still want engineering. I know that all engineering majors are LEP's, but I would like to know if being accepted into one engineering (bio) equals acceptance into another (civil).</p>
<p>And if anyone knows, does engineering @ UMD work like... your first two years you sample with different types of engineering then you declare after that?</p>
<p>For first year engineering, you will have to take chem 135 (or whatever the number for engineering) and ENES 100 along with basic calculus + physics + core classes (general studies). After that they started to diverse. So if ur unsure, you can always switch to different types of engineering in ur second semester or second year.</p>
<p>If you're in engineering, you can switch to another discipline by going into the engineering advising office (I know like 3 people who switched into civ). The only case that doesn't apply is switching into Bioengineering, because that's like a limited engineering major. I came in as an undeclared engineering major, but I was probably going to mechanical. </p>
<p>For some majors, you have to take an intro class (bio, civ, and aerospace all have intro classes--mech doesn't). All engineers have to take chem135, phys161, and phys260/261 (or AP out of them). Also, freshman year you have to take ENES100 (intro to engineering design), and ENES102 (statics).</p>
