I think ChemE and chemistry are very different in many ways. Junior and Senior classes for ChemE are usually processes, fluid dynamics, heat transfer, mass transfer, biosystems, etc. which are (I think) almost unknown to chemists. However, I realized that I, as a ChemE can actually double major in chemistry in just a few more classes (around 5 classes) in addition to the chemistry classes required for chemE. So I recommend you to transfer to chemE (One of my professors is a B.S. ChemE and Masters in chemistry and he told me that if he did the other way around it would too hard to do it)
