Modern WoW
You can unlearn your current specialization by speaking with your faction's Engineering trainer, Roxxik (Horde) or Lilliam Sparkspindle (Alliance). After selecting the gossip option to unlearn the specialization you will be able to accept a new quest to learn either Gnomish Engineering or Goblin Engineering.
Note: This applies to Classic specializations only. Dragonflight profession specializations cannot be reset.
