AI is typically more CS. If your son has any interest in both software and hardware then Computer Eng would be better.

GMU has a superb computer, engineering, game design and security/intelligence department.

SCU is also in Silicon Valley. As with most universities, the engineering program is more competitive for admission than the others.

My son would rather have not gone to college than to have moved to Blacksburg. By the time he was done with merit aid, we were within a few thousand dollars of VT, and at a school with substantially less weeding out.
There are many schools with decent computer engineering schools that have more local internship opportunities than VT. If you like rural, and the south it is a fine school but if your kid wants urban, not so much.
It doesn’t really matter where he goes among all reasonably good computer engineering programs. If you have tons of money, there are some great privates.
WPI, Rochester, etc all come to mind. You don’t need anyone to tell you that Georgia Tech or Mudd are good school for engineering. EVeryone knows that.

But would these schools be worth the cost compared to the instate options? We are thinking that there’s only 1 or 2 schools that would be worth the higher price for an engineering degree. Do you guys agree?

DS is interested in computer engineering. It consumes all his spare time as he is building / coding / inventing constantly. His dream school is Stanford as he wants to be in Silicon Valley, but he knows it's an extreme long shot. Being in the state of VA, VT is an obvious choice. Should he even bother looking anywhere else?
