<p>Which of the engineering majors are harder/ easier to get into?
Can one switch from one engineering major to another?</p>
<p>You can do inter-departmental transfers between engineering majors, but some are far more difficult to get into than others. Off the top of my head, MechE and AeroE are probably the most difficult. ENG CS has recently gotten considerably more selective as its popularity and enrollment has gone up. The bottom line is don’t count on anything and if you come to UIUC intending on doing a transfer, have a backup plan.</p>
