Randolph-Macon in Ashland Virginia started an engineering program in recent years and has become ABET certified. They also have a D3 swim team. My student was not looking at engineering so I don’t details on it, but it is a small private school in Virginia.

Do they only offer "general engineering" degrees or do they offer the usual specific degrees (AeroE, EE, CompE, CivilE, MechE) ?

As several PP have noted, those "general engineering" degrees are largely meaningless to employers.

Your Google broke?

NP. The PP's question is a fair question for OP to to look up and to consider with regard to the schools the other poster listed.

For D1 schools, look at Lafayette, Bucknell and Dayton. I have also been curious about Marquette but I am a little worried about its location in Milwaukee. Seems like there isn't a consensus on whether this is a good or bad thing.

Good most. We crossed Clarkson off due to the weather.

Tufts might be worth looking at - would be a high reach.

Yeah, it's cold. But so are RPI, Rochester, Wisconsin, Michigan, Chicago, Northwestern, etc. Just get a good coat.

And tell them not to whine but enjoy the skiing, skating, snow and all four seasons.
