Do you want to major in engineering?

Well, I was talking to my mom about engineering school; basically what she said was if I applied to an engineering school, I would still have a chance to switch back into a liberal arts education, but if I applied to a liberal arts school, I would not be able to attend their engineering program. So applying to an engineering school would offer more flexibility.

This is commonly, but not universally, true.

You need to investigate each college to see if:

It admits by division (College of Engineering, College of Arts & Sciences, etc.).

It admits by major.

How difficult it is to change division or major, or declare a major if enrolling as undeclared.

However, since engineering majors have longer sequences of prerequisites and a higher volume of course requirements than most majors, an undecided student considering engineering majors should start out following the engineering major schedule template, so as not to be behind if s/he decides to major in an engineering major.
