Examples of the above would be Physics changing to Mechanical Engineering move up and an Electrical Engineer becoming a Mechanical Engineer lateral move. A few students each year will be allowed to change majors to a less technical major. An example would be a Nuclear and Radiological Engineering major moving to Management.
