No. Engineering is a professional school. So is business, pharmacy, etc. The reason your arts/sciences major doesn’t matter in most schools is because you can walk to academic advising and change your major tomorrow if you want to.
Just to help you understand how you’re wrong, if it was easier to get in with a certain arts/sciences major, people would just apply with that major and then change their major back on their first day of class. You can’t do that in a professional program.
