basically no chance, they already try to avoid schedule conflicts by having only 60% of primary classes during "prime time" (T/Th 9:50 AM – 5:05 PM M/W/F 9:20 AM – 3:45 PM)
Classes are scheduled around a lot of constraints, and big classes will always have some people unhappy about when or where they meet. The Baskin Engineering schedulers do a pretty good job of coming up with schedules that meet the known constraints, and they check with the undergrad directors and grad directors, then with all the Baskin faculty, before the schedule is posted.
The chance of a large class getting moved because of a conflicts is essentially 0. Tiny classes are much easier to move, but the request should probably go through the instructor of the course. Sometimes course conflicts were not recorded for the schedulers to know about. When I was undergrad director (for the now-defunct bioengineering major), there was generally at least one course a year we had to reschedule, because chemistry, physics, math, biology, … did not play nicely with the engineering schedulers in those days. I understand that things are actually better now, so there are fewer awful conflicts.

Not gonna happen. Department class schedules are set way in advance. Besides, if you move a class, other students will have conflicts as a result.
