How best can I spend a gap semester/year in pursuit of a CS career?

I completed my 1st year at a competitive engineering university where all 1st year students take basic engineering classes and then apply for a specific engineering degree path. I applied for a CS path, but was given EE and ME options (as the CS path is, by far, the most competitive path). My passion is in CS and, unfortunately, the decision comes out after viable transfer deadlines for other universities had passed. If I wish to seek a CS degree, the only option I have at my current school is to take a semester of "core" classes (unrelated to engineering and/or CS) and reapply with a likely low chance of success in being offered a CS path. Rather than waste a semester, I am now considering taking a gap semester/year and then applying to enter a CS degree path at a new university. How best can I use this time to add real world experience and build out my experience in software development (I have been coding for years at this point). Open source coding projects? Finding an in-school-year internship (if such exist)? And, does this "non-linear" path hurt my chance of success in the job market after college?

Software engineer vs. UI/UX designer?

I think I want to become a software engineer or a UI/UX designer. Is there a career that would encapsulate both these roles? Also, many engineering focused schools, such as Purdue, offers a wide range of specific majors like computer science, UI/UX design, web design, etc. I know that computer science is a really competitive major. Would majoring in UI/UX design (or another niche major) and taking courses or coding boot camps be more beneficial (in terms of getting accepted into that college and working as a software engineer or UI/UX designer later on)?
