I applied to Texas A & M as a junior transfer student with my first major choice being mechanical engineering and my backup being industrial engineering. I was admitted under industrial engineering, but I am pretty sure I wouldn't enjoy that field. If I choose to attend TAMU as an industrial engineering major, test the waters, and decide I want to switch to mechanical engineering, would it be difficult to do so?

Who knows? Why don't you talk to your faculty advisor or the dean of engineering?
