[quote=Anonymous]To get back to the original question, I studied ME (a long time ago) and have been looking at the programs for my DS.  I also hire people with engineering degrees all the time.

VA Tech is amazing -- we did a tour pre-Covid and I highly recommend it.  They also try to expose you to different kinds of engineering freshman year so you can have some flexibility before being stuck with one major.
Northeastern -- one of the original coop programs so you graduate with a job. 
RPI, WPI, RIT -- all tech-focused, but I think they all have some sort of coop program or internships -- again, you will graduate with a job.
Ga. Tech -- Another amazing school -- can be difficult to get into, but worth a shot.
U Colo Boulder.
Lehigh

SUNY Binghamton has pretty good engineering, but with those great stats you can do better.

There are small schools that have been mentioned -- I didn't see small schools (other than Grinnell) in your list.  That's a choice the student has to make -- some people love small schools, some not so much. Engineering is a pretty intense major -- what else does your DS like to do?  That should help give some direction.

[quote=Anonymous]Hi all, my DC was planning on majoring in physics, but after a summer internship and current job, decided that they want to switch to mechanical engineering.  Problem is, a lot of their original schools don’t have good engineering programs. Based on his stats and old list of schools, could you suggest new schools

Stats:
SAT: 1550
GPA: 3.9 UW/4.32 W
8 AP Classes (5 5s and 3 4s)
Good ECs
