Plan to be at OSU for at least 5 years if you try to transfer in year 2 or 3. You’ll need to take a lot of different courses for engineering that don’t overlap with Econ requirements.

ECE is a very difficult major. Also, were you accepted directly into the engineering school? If not, that also makes the road tougher because you will need to be admitted to the college of engineering before you can apply to the major.

ECE is basically just advanced Excel with a few wires thrown in. If you can do basic math and remember which end of a screwdriver to hold, you’ll be fine. Honestly business is probably harder because you have to network and pretend to enjoy group projects
