Is Penn States Engineering School More Selective?

I know Penn State itself isn’t a highly selective school (51% acceptance rate), but I was wondering if they review admitted applicants again for the engineering program, or if they are free to choose their majors once they are in.

Like for example Maryland is a bit more selective than Penn State in the first place with a 45% acceptance rate. However, each admitted student is reviewed again by the engineering school and not nearly as many make it in causing the overall acceptance rate to be highly selective.

I have been looking around for this answer and was surprised to see nothing on the topic.
