From Mechanical Engineering Technology to Mechanical Engineering.

Hi guys,

I’ve just got guaranteed admission in Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET) in Purdue university. I applied for Mechanical Engineering (ME), but then received a mail stating that it’s difficult to get in that due to large number of students applying, so they advised me to choose an alternative major and guaranteed an admission in that.

My question is that, can I switch my major later on (in the second year) from MET to ME? And will the studies in the first semester/year be any different as both are in different schools (college of technology and college of engineering).

Thanks.
