Schools Switching engineering specialty while in grad school

AI Thread Summary
Switching from a Master's program in chemical engineering to mechanical engineering is generally possible but can be challenging. It often requires reapplying to the mechanical engineering department, which may involve meeting specific admission criteria and potentially facing a competitive selection process. The transition may also necessitate completing prerequisite coursework to align with the mechanical engineering curriculum. Overall, while feasible, the switch demands careful consideration of the requirements and potential hurdles involved.
