Doing this may mean having to go through another admission process to change into an engineering major. For example, at VT, see:

Note that the following:

indicates that a 3.0 GPA while meeting engineering major prerequisites will guarantee entry into the desired major, but applicants with lower GPAs may not be admitted into the desired major. Also note that non-engineering students may have lower registration priority for engineering major prerequisite courses.
