• Engineering Student Services & Academic Programs. http://essap.tamu.edu/change-major.htm

• Good grades in four-hour Calculus I & II and Sciences at Texas A&M.– Make an A or B proceed to next math or

science; C or less reconsider pursuing a technical major.

– History of repeated or grade excluded courses might make a student less competitive for a technical major.

• Acceptance to Engineering majors is based on space availability- No guarantees.
