<p>Hello all. </p>

<p>I am interested in changing careers to Engineering. I have a B.S. in biology and currently do research for a living. I am unsatisfied with the field right now and would like to change. I have done many of the pre-reqs for most engineering majors i.e., Cal I/II/III/Diff EQ, Physics I, II, Statics, Thermo (almost all As) and obviously all the core curriculum such as history etc. Some of these were done in my undergrad, some post-baccalaureate, and some at community college.</p>

<p>I would like to transfer into an engineering school, specifically tamu, Texas Tech, UT Austin. Is this a possibility, or is it only high schoolers? Would I have to retake many classes, or even the ACT/SAT?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>I would advise negotiating a transfer agreement with whomever is in charge, usually a dean of students, or a department head. I did the same thing with my transfer to ODU; just ask, say what you are trying to do, and they usually point people in the right direction.</p>
