Hi guys

I have a similar question to the OP, but it’s in reverse. I am doing an electrical engineering bachelors right now(finishing 1st year in a UK uni) and I just recently discovered that mechanical engineering is something I might like more. I don’t hate the course I am doing right now, so I asked for a transfer into the mech eng course next year, but the spaces are filled so there’s a chance I might/might not get in. If I don’t I’ll finish the 2 years remaining and get my BEng in electrical…and after that I want to do something I like more and that is Mechanical engineering, so is it possible for me to do a masters in mechanical engineering with a BEng in electrical? I checked on university of waterloo’s website (I am planning on getting my masters in Canada) and their graduate program says it allows applicants with a bachelors honors degree from an acceptable discipline…but then would it be really difficult for me considering I haven’t learned the undergrad stuff from Mech Eng?

thanks
