For many schools, Engineering is impacted and switching majors is not that easy as stated by @UCMtoUCSBHopeful. Also @UCMtoUCSBHopeful transferred as a Gender studies major so not a highly impacted major so you need to take anyone’s advice in context.

At UCSD, applicants wanting to switch into ME/CS required a 3.9-4.0 GPA for the Pre-req’s courses to have any chance. Before selecting your major, look into how truly easy it is to switch. I know many applicants that have gotten acceptances at UCSD/UCSB and SLO and were unable to switch in their choice major.

No one is discouraging you from pursuing your passion, just making you aware that UC’s and CSU’s are competitive for many majors and you should apply widely for the best chances.
