That class doesn’t sound like a good perspective on MechE as a whole. I hated my materials, solid mechanics, and manufacturing classes… but I found new life in Fluids and Heat Transfer.

It will take some work, and I don’t know your program is like, but ask professor’s. Ask them about things you will be learning in the next few years, ask them to borrow an intro to Machine design, or fluids, or heat transfer textbook. Read over the intro chapters, see if anything sticks with you. Seek out a Junior or Senior, see what they have to say. Maybe everyone hates that class and just stuck with it.

I think changing a major based on a single class is a little rushed, take the time and seek out some of the information yourself. You are only being exposed to a single vertical slice of the major, ME is fairly broad.
