How involved are Mechanical Engineers involved in the production process of a new design?

I like to do a lot of hands-on work and didn't want to enter a field where it was mostly computer designing. #mechanical-engineering #project-management #project-teams

How do you change your major after starting college?

I'm not sure what I'll be studying yet but I am leaning towards medicine, chemistry or music. I feel like I'm going to end up changing my major, and I would like to know ahead of time how to do it.
