Yes, JohnWillkins you are right…once you are there if you change majors from engineering or hard science you would have to transfer. Also, once you have an engineering degree the doors are open for almost anything.

Its interesting to note that 70% of our top “Executive Staff” (top 10) had engineering degrees in the company that I work. We are not an engineering company and are in the top 100. I was surprised when I saw this.

I would have to say it is also easier to transfer out of a big 10 because the work load gets heavy and then regret it later that you didn’t stick it out. Sometimes it is easier to drop a major not because of the fit but of the work.
