To find the number of students majoring in Engineering, we can calculate 21% of the total number of students in the freshman class, which is 3000.
First, convert the percentage to a decimal:
\[
21\% = \frac{21}{100} = 0.21
\]
Next, multiply this decimal by the total number of students:
\[
\text{Number of Engineering majors} = 0.21 \times 3000
\]
Now perform the multiplication:
\[
0.21 \times 3000 = 630
\]
Thus, the number of students in the freshman class who are majoring in Engineering is:
\[
\boxed{630}
\]
