<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I'm a freshman at UIUC currently majoring in Ag Engineering. I hope to switch to MechE, but here that department is always crowded so the requirements on transferring are strict to say the least. I believe a person has to have 3.9 gpa in all the technical courses in order to transfer. Transferring to engineering mechanics is a piece of cake. My question is, how much will this make a difference on me after graduation? I hope to either attend grad school for petroleum engineering or perhaps get a job in industry working for some motor company like cummins or even john deere, Thanks!</p>
