Purdue has a Freshman Engineering Program where all prospective engineering students must complete before moving into their specialization field (which also gives you extra time to figure out which engineering you want to do/is right for you). I'm sure Purdue isn't the only school like that. Depending on where you apply, the school might have a similar program....make sure you ask the councilors...thats what they are there for.
They arn't, infact I know that a few schools out there really don't teach anything specfic in each concentration of engineering until the second year to help those that move around. Check with each college to see how they teach, some are ridged, some aren't.
