You might be right @eyemgh, that’s what I said that this is something to consider, although there are some subtleties there

My daughter has a friend who switched from IE to EE this year and she told me it was extremely easy. I am not sure though what was the GPA, etc.

The switching within the College of Engineering seems to be a lot easier based on this info: https://eadvise.calpoly.edu/change-majors-to-aero-bmed-ce-ee-enve-gene-ie-mfge-mate-or-me/

There is no mention whatsoever about eligibility at admission and the GPA requirements are very lenient for some of the majors. The language in your link is vague and states clearly “the department may consider” and it does not appear to apply for switching within CoE as long as you’re not going into a CS related major.
