This is one of those majors where prestige of the school really doesn’t matter. Big and well funded programs around here at UMD, Penn State, Delaware, VT.

Depends what you want to do with the degree. Some employers are more coveted than others. Better degrees open more doors.

Swarthmore has a 4-year ABET accredited Engineering program. Great choice for those interested in Engineering + Liberal Arts (a high number double major).

The ABET is in general engineering versus a specialty area. Could there by any issues with that for later employment?

U of Cincinnati has good engineering programs and the oldest co-op program in US.

Good schools although too crowded if you don't have better options.
