<p>Is the core requirement the same across the board? Son has gotten accepted into Honors Engineering. He wants to do Computer Engineering but I believe he will also have to do a lot of electrical courses?</p>
<p>I heard that 60 credits core is required - Could he do first year in ECE and then if he does not like it he can switch to Computer Science in the college of science?</p>
<p>In general, the core curriculum is pretty flexible. There are some recent changes to the engineering core curriculum. You can compare the ECE sequence here:[UT</a> ECE | Undergraduate: Curriculum](<a href=“http://www.ece.utexas.edu/undergraduate/curriculum.cfm]UT”>http://www.ece.utexas.edu/undergraduate/curriculum.cfm) with CS here:[The</a> University of Texas at Austin - Department of Computer Sciences - Academics](<a href=“http://www.cs.utexas.edu/academics/undergraduate/degrees_courses/]The”>http://www.cs.utexas.edu/academics/undergraduate/degrees_courses/)</p>
