At my school engineering is a separate college you apply to and enroll in from day one.
So it is, in effect, a choice made senior year of high school.
But a non-engineering student can take classes in any college there, including engineering, so long as they meet prerequisites.

If , after enrolling, you find it is not your cup of tea, you would have to transfer colleges. Either internally- within the university, or externally. As I mentioned above, such a transfer after freshman year need not delay your graduation date.

My school also allowed for a number of outside electives that many students found sufficient. At the time, anyway.

FWIW, at my school the CS major is shared between the engineering college and the arts & sciences college.

But my school is not on your list.

I am not intimately familiar with how other universities/colleges do things, but people have represented that it varies.

So you would need to check each program you are thinking about applying to, for their particular deal.
